Target Sprint explained… The course is short, usually 3x 400m, of which each running session is interspersed by shooting at knockdown targets.

Adapting Target Sprint… Races can be adapted to cater for different audiences in many ways. For example, through altering the run distance, target size and/or the inclusion of team relays.

 

ISSF – International Shooting Sports Federation

In 2013 the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) introduced the discipline of Target Sprint in a move to make target shooting more accessible to all. British Shooting as the ISSF’s recognised National Federation for target shooting in United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, are leading the development of the ISSF sanctioned event Target Sprint domestically. We are working with others to support grassroots activity, deliver competitive opportunities and develop a talent pathway that leads right the way through to international selection for Great Britain. We welcome you to join our journey.
