South African Shooting Sport Confederation


South African Shooting Sport Confederation formerly known as South African Shooting Sport Federation is the governing body for shooting sports in South Africa.
SASSCo is the highest body responsible for the development and promotion of target shooting sports in South Africa. SASSCo is registered with both SASCOC and Sport and Recreation South Africa as the officially recognised overall federation for shooting sports in South Africa, and is also affiliated to the International Shooting Sport Federation and the African Shooting Sport Federation.

History

The South African Shooters Union was established in the 1990s as a result of the need for only one representative federation governing each sporting activity in South Africa as required by government's policy. The International Shooting Sport Federation, the world governing body for shooting sports subsequently suggested a name change to South African Shooting Sport Federation.
SASSF's affiliate member associations compete in International Olympic Committee events in addition to non-IOC sanctioned events. SASSF holds the international affiliation from ISSF on behalf of the Olympic events-member associations while the non-Olympic events-member associations competing in international competitions hold the international affiliation for those events.
