Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (NSW) Inc. 5
were kept busy answering various questions regarding
R licenses, State forest hunting as well as the 'Shut the
Gate on Illegal Hunting' campaign, an important issue
within the farming and rural community.
An information session on the Supplementary Pest Control
(SPC) Program proved very popular with over 20 members
attending – some travelling up from Sydney to attend.
The Mobile Air Rifle Range was positioned next to the
SSAA NSW tent and attracted hundreds of visitors who
were keen to try shooting. People of all ages, including
children under 18 with parent or guardian's permission
experienced the safe, fun and unique sport of shooting.
It was good to see the friendly competition between
family members and friends; most leaving with a huge
smile on their face and clutching their targets along with
a prized SSAA cap or mug.
The contribution of our fantastic volunteers played a
huge part in the success of this year's AgQuip. Thank
you to Mark, Richard and the volunteers from Gunnedah,
Armidale and Narrabri Branches. Without volunteers,
events like this and many others that showcase our sport
throughout the year would not be possible.
