The relationship between the Queensland Rifle Association and the military continued for almost a century, being formally dissolved in 1960 when Australian Army funding for competition prizes and ammunition was withdrawn.
One of the most celebrated marksmen to enlist was Trooper W. E. “Billy” Sing from the Proserpine Rifle Club.
At Gallipoli Billy Sing was the deadliest sniper in the Australian forces with a tally of over 200.
In 1891 women participated for the first time in a competition at Tarampa using heavy rifles over 200 and 300 yard ranges; two of the younger women were described as "handling their rifles as steadily as the men, and they bid fair to make as good shots as their brothers".
