About Us
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. |

The British Paraplegic Shooting Association was formed in 1976 to introduce shooting to people with disabilities. The BPSA changed it's name to Disability Target Shooting Great Britain in 2005. 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. |
