About Us
<empty>
One of the main aims of Disability Target Shooting Great Britain is to develop links with able-bodied shooters and governing bodies.

This is achieved by disabled shooters competing in able-bodied shoots and involving able bodied coaches in the training of disabled shooters.

At the present time we have approximately 30 members but the interest in shooting is rapidly growing. Although shooting as such has been known since the invention of gunpowder, target shooting really came into its own in 1907 with the formation of the U.I.T. which is the governing body for able-bodied shooting.

Rules and regulations in conjunction with the ISSF were drawn up, the only difference being that wheelchair competitors shoot Air Rifle Prone and standing as per bodied competitors who shoot standing only.
