Australian Shooter
The Australian Shooter is a very popular shooting and hunting magazine in Australia with 200,000 SSAA members strong. Each month, the 100-plus-page glossy magazine is filled with the latest industry news and product reviews, as well as technical, how-to and historical stories, competition shooting and results, tips and fantastic competitions. In fact, it features anything and everything to do with sports shooting.
Australian Shooter was the original name given to the SSAA's member newsletter in 1948. It later became the Australian Shooters' Journal and remained so until 1999 when new managing editor Tim Bannister was given approval by the SSAA National Board to change the name back to Australian Shooter.
A monthly magazine, Australian Shooter quickly became the main publication for recreational shooters, competitors and hunters in Australia.
In 2007, Australian Shooter became one of the first magazines of its circulation in Australia to be fully printed on 100 per cent recycled paper.
In 2008, it had an audited circulation of more than 100,000 readers. In 2016, readership was more than 180,000 each month.
Australian Shooter contains columns, firearm and accessory reviews, historical, technical and how-to articles, member letters, competition results and news, merchandise and profiles on SSAA shooting clubs and members.
The magazine also regularly features interviews with and profiles on celebrity shooters and hunters, in recent years including:
