We supply and support our products to the wholesale market, licensed gun dealers and retail to end users. All sales of firearms are subject to applicable State and Federal laws, there is no compromise on this point. Sale of firearms within Victoria may only take place from our licensed premises or at venues where we have a permit to operate away from the licensed premises. Interstate firearm sales (other than at Arms Fairs where we have the relevant Permits) can only be delivered via a Licensed Gun Dealer, we will supply shooters but must deliver to a dealer in your area. For firearm accessories we will generally deliver via post direct to you although we have stockists in many parts of Australia, see stockists for a comprehensive list. We are able to export our product range without Australian taxes, all firearm exports require an Export Permit from the Australian Defence Department under the Waasenaar Convention (this covers such stuff as military & nuclear weapons, you know, the agreements to stop Saddam Hussein from buying muzzle loaders from us etc, gross overkill for most of what we sell but required). To get this Permit usually requires an Import Permit issued by the relevant authorities in your country, inquire for advice locally as we don't have access to the required information for many countries.

The Federation of Hunting Clubs came into being in November 1996, after the then Shooters Party MLC, John Tingle, pointed out to Premier Carr that some 90% of all firearms licenses were taken out for the purpose of hunting. He was able to persuade the Premier that the incoming firearms laws would disadvantage these people – especially the large number of ethnic groups, who were, basically the only firearms owners organised into hunting clubs, because hunting clubs would not be recognised. The Legislation was amended in November 1996, even before it had been proclaimed, to recognise membership of a hunting club as a “genuine reason” for a firearm licence. The Shooters Party encouraged and helped organise the formation of hunting clubs in many part of NSW, and formed them into the Federation of Hunting Clubs, which is a recognised umbrella group under the Firearms Regulations. The Clubs are able to organise insurance, register members’ hunting activities for justification of the firearm licence, and most provide training meets, including sighting in facilities, trophy dressing and safe hunting. The Federation is affiliated with and supported the Shooters Party, and is represented on the NSW Game Council	The Optic Zone...

We aim to provide an opportunity for every shooter in Australia to access high quality firearms, parts and accessories that sometimes might be challenging to find locally.

The Australian Shooters and Fishers Party (ASFP) hopes to repeat the success of its New South Wales counterpart, in the Federal election on November 24 2007. The NSW Shooters Party doubled its representation in the Upper House of the State Parliament in the election in March this year. The upcoming Federal election gives sporting shooters, anglers and 4WDers a new opportunity to strengthen their political voice and protect their sporting and recreational activities from the threat of the extreme Greens. The ASFP has teamed up with the Australian Fishing and Lifestyle Party (AFLP) because the two groups share many common objectives, including a strong opposition to the Greens’ idealistic, skewed and dangerous vision for the future. In Queensland, ASFP preferences will be directed towards the AFLP and other like-minded groups such as the Christian Democratic Party, which are opposed to the Greens’ irrational attitude towards the shooting sports and legal firearm ownership, as well as usage of state forests and marine parks
