WELCOME TO THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN REVOLVER & PISTOL ASSOCIATION

Incorporated in September 1949, SARPA is the state’s peak body for the sport of target pistol shooting responsible for the growth and development of the safe and challenging sport of Pistol Shooting. We are a member of the national body Target Pistol Australia (TPA) which provides our members with direct access to 31 different matches, including categories for athletes with a disability, that are all graded to suit members of all skill levels from club to the elite.
