The South African Target Rifle Association is a National Association that was started prior to 1942 and has a long and rich shooting history.

​​

Target Rifle shooting is a fun, safe, competitive outdoor and indoor sport for the whole family.  Target rifle shooting requires a great level of focus, self-discipline, and physical fitness. Most importantly, it is not a sport that is exclusive to or dominated by any one social group; participants range in age, gender, race, career, industry, and even physical ability.

​

SATRA's activities include the following:

•  Small-bore rifle shooting using .22 caliber firing at paper or electronic targets at distances of up to 100 meters, based on ISSF prone and 3P (prone, kneeling and standing)

• Target shooting at 300 meters with a full-bore rifle, based ISSF

• Air rifle shooting at 10 meters and three different positions
   

Open peep sights are used in classes A, B, C and D. We also have an F-class using telescopes and a H-class for hunting rifles.

Your average score for the year determines your class.
