Herberton Branch Inc is a sports club located in the Bega Valley Shire Council area of Queensland, Australia. The club is affiliated with the Sporting Shooters Association of Australia (SSAA) Queensland, which was established in 1948 to promote the shooting sports and protect firearms owners' interests. With over 68,000 members, SSAA Queensland is the largest and most prominent shooting organisation in the state.
The club offers a variety of shooting disciplines for its members to participate in. This includes competitive shooting for both juniors (aged 11 and above) and adults, as well as hunting activities.
