The National Rifle Association of New Zealand (NRA) is the national governing body for Fullbore rifle shooting in New Zealand. The Association is the representative member for New Zealand to the International Confederation of Fullbore Rifle Associations (ICFRA) and participates in ICFRA World Championships and the Commonwealth Games. The NRA traces its history to the foundation of the New Zealand Rifle Association (NZRA) in 1878, taking over the running of the annual national championships from the Government Volunteer Movement which had run an annual meeting since 1861. By 1900 the NZRA was in financial difficulty owing to the expense of building a new range each year - the annual championships were contested around the country on temporary sites rather than from a fixed base. At the request of the NZRA, the Association was taken over by the Defence Force, becoming the New Zealand Defence Rifle Association. In 1923, the National Rifle Association was formed to differentiate the interests of target shooters from those of the Defence Force. More information...
