Airgun Sporting Association

The Airgun Sporting Association exists to represent the interests of airgun hunters and competitors at the state and national level. They track regulation changes, mobilize hunters to comment on proposed rule changes, and maintain current hunting laws for each state.

• •Regulatory Advocacy – ASA alerts members to upcoming regulation changes and provides clear steps to submit comments to state fish and game agencies
• •Competition Rules – Publishes and maintains rules for benchrest and other airgun sporting events
• •State-by-State Guidance – Maintains current airgun hunting regulations so you know what's legal in your state
• •Member Community – Connects airgun hunters and shooters across the country

ASA is actively supporting Virginia airgun hunters seeking expanded hunting seasons. Currently, Virginia allows airguns (.35 caliber and above) during the two-week rifle season. The state is proposing regulation changes to the four-week muzzleloader season, and ASA is mobilizing hunters to request that airguns be included.

"Today's large bore airguns are comparable in range and accuracy to the muzzleloaders of 30 years ago." – ASA advocacy guidance

The organization handles regulatory comments at the state level, but emphasizes that home-state hunters' voices carry the most weight with game agencies.
