TRINIDAD RIFLE ASSOCIATION

The Trinidad Rifle Association (TRA) was established in 1879 and incorporated by an act of Parliament in 1975. It acts as the governing body for sport shooting within the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago and represents upward of 1000 shooters across the country exclusive of members of the Defence Force, Police and other agencies.
