Shooting

Shooting disciplines include: Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun (Skeet, Trap), Running target, and Para-shooting

Active Target, opens in a new tab. Engages people from all areas of the community into a fun, friendly and uniquely physically active experience through the use of laser pistols and rifles. The primary aim of the activity is to promote the sport of target shooting to the community in a method that is non-threatening and engaging. The project will involve a 30-minute laser pistol/rifle activity that includes various exercises with shooting at stationary targets. This activity is a modified version of a current international competition.

Target shooting for the vision impaired, opens in a new tab. Uses standard shooting equipment with a special electronic audio aiming device fitted to the gun. The aiming device detects the point of aim of the gun relative to the target and provides the shooter through headphones different tones indicating the point of aim. Also, within a competition a VI shooter is permitted an assistant to provide information such as the position of shots which have been taken. Through these adaptations a VI shooter, regardless of amount of sight, can achieve an accuracy comparable to a fully sighted shooter.
