SSAA Victoria has developed the Practical Firearms Training Program (PFTP): Centrefire Course to help develop shooting skills for people who have acquired their firearms licence, purchased a centrefire rifle, and wish to improve their skills.

To be held at either SSAA Victoria’s Little River, Wodonga, Warrnambool, East Gippsland (Buchan South), and Mildura ranges, the PFTP: Centrefire Course is designed to instill best practice and essential knowledge for new or intermediate centrefire users.

The course is also designed to give shooters a better understanding of their firearm and covers fundamental skills such as sighting-in a rifle (which is essential before hunting).

Topics covered in the PFTP: Centrefire Course include:

  • Firearm safety
  • Grouping and ballistics.
  • Boresighting and sighting-in.
  • Shooting procedures and techniques.
  • Marksmanship.
  • Firearm maintenance.
