The Buffalo Rifle Association of Australia (BRAA) Inc. was formed in 2009 to promote the use of the single-shot, black powder rifles used by Buffalo (Bison) Hunters, United States Army and Settlers during the late 1800s in the American West.
The Club is formally incorporated and affiliated with the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA NSW) and SSAA Membership is a pre-requisite to joining BRAA.
BRAA is licensed by NSW Firearms Registry as a sport/target shooting club for both Long-arms and Pistol.
