About the Sport
Target sports requires discipline, concentration, and focus. But it's also a lot of fun and a great challenge! Target sports consists of air rifle and air pistol events, and .22 calibre. Opportunities for involvement exist from the beginning recreational level, to the elite competitive level, with some athletes travelling to competitions across the country and around the world.
How to Get Involved
All that is required to get involved is the ability to hold one arm up to shoulder level. Assistive devices are available to ensure full participation. It is not necessary to have your own equipment to try the sport - equipment is available at practices. In addition to opportunities for participation as an athlete, there are also opportunities for coaches and volunteers. So come on out and get involved!
