The National Rifle Association of West Australian (NRAWA) was formed on the 12th of July 1901 and in 1965 changed its name to the West Australian Rifle Association (WARA).
By the early 1900’s civilian rifle clubs were being established as successors to the colonial era Volunteer Corps. The NRAWA was formed to guide and coordinate the growing sport. Its first “Kings” prize meeting was held in 1902 at the Karrakatta Rifle Range.
