Over 150 shooters ranging from ages 12-85 made the National Shooting grounds in Wagga their home this week for the seven-day competition.
All states and territories of Australia were represented at the titles, as well as three visitors from New Zealand.
ACTA president Mal Dyson said the titles had been a success.
"It's going really well," Dyson said.
"They're a very casual type of shooter and they are very supportive of each other."
A highlight of the week was the induction of Michael Buttigieg to the ACTA Skeet Hall Of Fame on Monday night.
The accomplished Bairnsdale shooter had already accumulated double the points needed to qualify for the Hall of Fame.
The state teams shoot was held on Tuesday morning with Victoria successful in the open junior and veteran teams, while NSW took out the ladies event.
A team is selected at the conclusion of the event to represent Australia in competition with New Zealand.
The titles conclude on Sunday.
