Welcome
Welcome to the New Zealand Airgun Field Target Association (NZAFTA) – your gateway to national and international competitive shooting! Founded out of a desire to create a cohesive community for airgun enthusiasts.
NZAFTA provides an organised platform for members to participate in prestigious global events, including the annually held World Field Target Competitions, hosted by the World Field Target Federation (WFTF).
Our journey began in the 1980’s when the North Harbour Air Gun Club (NHAGC) became the first to shoot competitions and since then Clubs have joined from different areas of the North Island. Culminating in our very first New Zealand team competing at the world competition held in South Africa in 2009. Marking the start of our exciting global presence.
At the heart of NZAFTA is a dedicated board of four directors, all elected from our member clubs. These passionate leaders are committed to fostering a thriving airgun community by overseeing the organisation of competitions at various levels, including international, national, and interclub events.
They also collaborate with government bodies to offer expert advice and guidance on legislation impacting our sport, ensuring we remain compliant while advocating for the needs of our members.
Membership is open to all airgun clubs across New Zealand, making it easier than ever to connect with like-minded individuals and veterans in the field. By joining NZAFTA, you gain access to a wealth of resources, competition opportunities, and a supportive network. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or new to the airgun shooting sport, we welcome you with open arms.
While everyone is encouraged to join, it’s important that children and younger shooters are supervised by an adult to ensure safety and enjoyment for all.
