This page is always under maintenance. Rules change regularly and it can always be improved. And I am not a saint as a trainer/coach.
No wisdom is absolute, but with this website you should be able to do pretty well at a competition.
First and most important rule in sport shooting
First and most important rule in sport shooting
Weapons should NEVER be pointed at anyone under ANY circumstances.
SAFETY must be the highest priority when handling a weapons, air or firearms.
The weapons MUST ONLY be loaded with ammunition on the range, with the weapon pointed down and when it is ready to fire.
Each weapon must be handled as if it is loaded at all times, even if you are certain that the weapon is not loaded.
The weapons must be transported safely both on and off the range.
When resting during a series, the weapon must have a flag in the chamber and for air weapons a cord through the entire barrel.
When transporting, a bolt-rifle must the bolt be removed and weapons without a bolt must have a flag in the chamber with the slide closed.
A trigger lock is recommended for ALL weapons.
Keep your finger of the trigger when not aiming.

Training
To become a good sports shooter, a lot of training is needed. Most junior shooters train once or twice a week at their club. All materials are available here, such as a weapon and targets. The club trainer is also important: he or she ensures that you learn to shoot safely and that you keep getting better!
On this page you can find more about three different types of training:
Physical training: with these training sessions you try to make the muscles and tendons in your body strong and flexible and to improve
your condition, so that you can shoot for as long as possible.
Mental training: you train yourself to keep your heart rate under control and to concentrate as well as possible.
Technique training: this is actually everything you do on the shooting range to shoot a '10'. You will find a few ways to train and also games to use on the shooting range.
These are just a few exercises that are easy to use for you and your club trainer.
For this group under 16, the Royal Dutch Shooting Sports Association has created its own class division.
Everyone has their own group composition.
There is also a document available with additional training for juniors.
