A FEW THOUGHTS ON THE HONOURABLE AND HISTORIC SPORT OF TARGET SHOOTING

Target shooting is a personally challenging sport in which success is largely determined by your ability to control yourself both physically and mentally.

Neither beauty, speed, strength, gender or age will contribute anything towards your abilities, but attention to detail and a willingness to analyse and learn from your experiences as you practice and compete are the only sure ways to succeed in the sport.

A SPORT FOR LIFE!

Target shooting is truly a sport for life. It teaches skills such as self-discipline, patience, perseverance, goal-setting, planning, organising, concentration, evaluation and decision-making. These skills, once learned, are a valuable personal resource that can be used throughout life.

A SPORT FOR ALL PEOPLE!

Target shooting is truly a sport for all people because it is one of the very few sports where everyone - men, women, the young, old, fit or less able-bodied - can compete on equal terms.
