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.
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.
On social media, many questions are asked about sport shooting to help fellow shooters. With my background, I believe I can support both beginners and more advanced athletes.
To avoid repeating the same answers over and over, I created a website focused on the 10-meter air disciplines. In the future, I may also provide similar guidance and training for other disciplines, such as small-bore prone and 3-position shooting.
Our motto is: by shooters, for shooters. I do my best to help everyone. But above all—enjoy your sport! It’s not something you have to do. After all, you won’t make a living from it.
On social media I also regularly see photos and videos of young people practicing our beautiful sport.
Although I think you should be careful with children who are still growing, many national shooting sports associations have set up special programs for young people. Ask your club if your national shooting sports association have such a program.
In some countries, supported shooting is also for veterans (55+).
TargetScan (ISSF)
For special software to keep track of your scores and shot pattern analysis for ALL disciplines and calibers, we recommend TargetScan.
We have no relationship with this program, but for shooters who want to go further, analyse and keep an archive, this is a great tool. A must have for every shooter.
The Dutch sports care foundation has set up a number of video training courses that are extremely suitable for shooting sports, among other things.
The training videos are in Dutch, but the essence of the training is easy to follow.
These training courses are suitable for all aspects of shooting sports.
