About SHO Tasmania
Our mission, our values and our commitment to Tasmania’s outdoor community.
Our mission
Uniting Tasmania's outdoor community.
Shooting, Hunting & Outdoors Tasmania (SHO Tasmania) is the unified voice for our state's shooters, hunters, farmers, fishers, and outdoor enthusiasts. We bring together individuals and associations who depend on, and care deeply about, Tasmania's outdoor way of life.
Our mission is to advocate for responsible ownership, practical legislation, and the preservation of Tasmania's proud outdoor heritage. We work constructively with legislators, agencies, and the wider community to ensure our members' voices are heard fairly, credibly, and respectfully.

Our story
Founded on
common ground.
SHO Tasmania was established to unite the many associations and individuals who share a common commitment to Tasmania's outdoor traditions. Recognising that divided voices are weaker, we came together to create a single, powerful advocate for our community.
Today, our community spans shooting clubs, hunting groups, conservation societies, and outdoor recreation bodies. Together, we form a credible, constructive force in the conversation around responsible outdoor practices and fair policy.
