SSAA CODE OF ETHICS
- SSAA members undertake to adhere to the following basic ethical requirements (breach of which may result in suspension of membership or expulsion from the Association).
- Having first obtained a landholder’s permission to shoot on his property, members consider themselves to be invited guests, so that they will be welcome on subsequent visits.
- They obey the rules of safe firearm handling and diplomatically yet firmly insist others do the same.
- They obey relevant game laws and regulations.
- They acquire marksmanship and hunting skills which will ensure clean harvesting of game.
- They support game conservation programs.
And, most importantly, they pass on to youngsters the attitudes to game and conservation and the skills of safe firearms ownership which are the hallmark of the sporting shooter.
