Welcome

The Australian Clay Target Association (ACTA) is responsible for administrating, promoting and developing the sport of clay target shooting. Clay target is a sport that can be enjoyed by the whole family as a recreation at a local gun club, or at a competition level from registered club events to regional, state, national and international competitions. These include World Championships, Commonwealth and Olympic Games.

Clay Target Shooting has different disciplines which you can try, including: Trap, Skeet, ISSF and Sporting Clays. Each discipline varies in its approach and delivery of targets to give a choice and different experience with Clay Target Shooting.  The ACTA provides information on local, state, national and international competitions. You will find many interesting areas, including Coaching, Referees, Membership, Hall of Fame, the Clay Target Shooting News magazine & much more.
