The sport takes many forms (disciplines) is open to both men, women and juniors, as well as Disabled Shooters, including Blind Shooters, through the International Shooting Committee for Disabled
Paradoxically Olympic shooting is a gentle sport requiring the fitness, balance, the poise of a gymnast and the concentration of a chess master. Olympic shooting is one of the safest sports; with athletes largely remaining free of the sports injuries, particularly those that can be associated with hockey, rugby, soccer and even running. The abuse of performance enhancing drugs is also very rare within the sport.
The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) is the governing body responsible for both promoting shooting sport and for providing its Rules and Regulations. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognizes the ISSF as the international body representing the 15 ISSF Events shooting events that are included in the Olympic Games. National Governing Bodies are responsible for the sport within their own country and for selecting eligible athletes to appear in both international events including Intershoot, the World Cup and the Olympic Games.
Please pay special attention to Safety
