1 Dear Shooting SportAthlete
You started out with the fundamentals of shooting sports and now you have already learned the basics. Maybe you even practiced with our beginning book “Learning Shooting Sports”. Now you regularly train at a club, have learned a lot, and have competed in your first competitions. If you are now interested in this training book and are reading it, we can assume that you are still very enthusiastic about this great sport. You want to continue on and train properly and with purpose.
You want to be more focused, have more endurance and be more accurate. Familiar techniques are built upon and new ones are added. You want to gain personal experience and make individual adjustments to the techniques.
Although not everyone around you always appreciates your sport of choice, you recognize the personal athletic challenge. You don’t have to be overly strong, tall, thin or attractive. Your performance can be physically measured and you are therefore not dependent on the sympathy of referees. It is an indoor and outdoor sport; you do not have to hurt anyone and don’t have to push yourself to your absolute physical limit. Valuable qualities such as the ability to concentrate, determination, sagacity and resolve are cultivated. The special sports equipment causes you to be very responsible and cautious.
But first a little story:
A strapping boy was visiting the mountains and wanted to climb a high peak. Cheerfully he packed food and drink, and started to hike with a bounce in his step.
Since he wasn’t familiar with the route he made slow progress. He climbed up and when he realized that he couldn’t get any further, he had to turn back and start over. These detours cost him lots of strength. Sometimes he got lucky and found a trail that brought him a little closer to the top. After many such attempts he finally reached the summit, only to realize that others were already there. They told him about a good hiking trail. He could have taken that without all those detours.
Why didn’t he use a map or ask someone who had already taken this hike?
Training in shooting sports is similar to our story about the “conqueror of the peaks”. Many shooting athletes have trained before you and some have become very successful. So you don’t have to reinvent shooting sports and shooting training, but rather learn from the experiences of shooting athletes before you. That will make it much easier for you.
The training book “Training Shooting Sports” will provide you with a kind of “trail map” and a little tutorial on how you can climb the “shooting athlete’s peak” without making a lot of detours. And of course there’s your trainer who can show you the right way.
It sometimes happens that experienced shooting athletes, trainers and book writers have slightly different views and terminology. That is normal. Ask if you are not clear on something and find out the reasons behind different opinions. But if we are mistaken about something or the development has simply progressed, make notations directly in your book.
But before you go to bed at night with the book under your pillow, thinking that’s how you will win tomorrow, we just want to tell you this on your way to “the top”:
We want to counsel you and explain how you can train properly. But you must train on your own. Whether or not you reach your goal and make it to the peak is mainly up to you.
In this book we primarily offer tips, suggestions and information about training. The section on rifle and pistol shooting describes the basics, but due to limited space it is certainly not complete. Get advice from trainers or other shooting athletes if you need additional information. We hope you have lots of fun with this book. It will certainly provide you with much interesting information to accompany you on a hopefully quick and safe trip to “the summit”. We wish you lots of success!
Stork Sammy and the authors
Sports and Art
Sports and athletes are popular themes for many artists. Many paintings, drawings, caricatures, sculptures, and photographs have been and are created inspired by the elegance of the movement, the beauty of the body, the strength, the fun, and the hi-tech sports equipment. Look for them whenever you are leafing through a magazine or are visiting a public building or a museum.
Logos and mascots
Graphic artists design logos or little mascots for athletic associations, sports clubs or sporting events. These images are then displayed on posters, tickets, trophies, t-shirts, etc., – and of course as plush toys.
Try your hand at graphic design
Pretend your club needs a new logo, or you have to design a medal or the logo for the next World Championships. What do your ideas look like?
2 Interesting FactsAbout Shooting Sports
Adolescents engage in sports to get in shape, to do something constructive with their free time, to get together with friends and to learn something new and different. Of course you also want to test your limits, push yourself, and be successful in competitions!
Shooting is your hobby and you put a lot of time into it. Naturally most young shooting athletes want to know everything about their favorite sport in addition to the regular training sessions and supplementary exercises.
That includes learning about the history of shooting sports and national and international shooting sports organizations. You want to know about the various disciplines, the best and most successful athletes and the world records.
That’s interesting to you but also to those around you. Some will ask you whether rifle or pistol shooting is actually a sport and what it is you love about it. The more you know about your sport, the more comprehensive and competent your answers will be!
We want to peak your interest within the next few pages. You can get even more information from sport-specific literature, television programs or on the Internet.
Additional shooting sport disciplines
Crossbow
Shooting a crossbow probably makes most people think of William Tell rather than a modern sport. But since the legendary shot that split the apple, the crossbow has evolved into a piece of hi-tech sports equipment. Most often the transverse arch is mounted on an air rifle stock. Taking aim is similar to rifle shooting, looking through diopter and aperture. Once the bow is cocked, the arrow shaft is placed on a track. When the trigger is pulled, the tension is released and the arrow (or bolt) travels towards the target. We differentiate between sports crossbow and outdoor crossbow.
Shotgun
The special thing about shotgun shooting (as opposed to the other shooting disciplines) is that you shoot at a flying target. You either score a “hit” or “no hit”, which the spectators are able to see. Shooting is done with double barrel shotguns, shotgun-pellets are used for ammunition, and the target is a clay disk. We differentiate between three disciplines: trap, double trap and skeet shooting.
Muzzleloaders 25m, 50m and 100m
Permitted are original firearms as long as they meet regulations, and replicas of approved originals. Ammunition is limited to factory-made black powder.
Competitions:percussion rifle, flintlock rifle, flintlock musket, percussion revolver, percussion pistol, flintlock pistolEvent:15 shots within 40 minutes; beforehand an unlimited number of practice shots within 10 minutes.Moving Target 10m
The moving target is fired on at 10 meters standing with an air rifle. The shooter must hold the rifle in the ready position until the moment the target is shown. Only when the target is visible does the shooter move the rifle into firing position and starts to track the target through his sights.
Events:Regular program: low speed (5 sec.) and high speed (2.5 sec.) and a mixed program.Summer Biathlon
Summer biathlon is a combination of running and shooting, which is what makes this sport so interesting and lends it to audience appeal. Unlike the more well known winter biathlon, the summer biathlete does not carry the rifle while running. During the individual shooting rounds, the shooter must hit five targets with just one shot each. As soon as the target is struck, a flap comes down so everyone can see whether or not the shot was a hit. If the shooter misses a flap, he must run a penalty lap or he has time added to his overall time. From a standing firing position shots are taken on 35mm targets, and from a prone firing position shots are taken on 15mm targets. The equipment consists of a pair of sturdy running shoes, comfortable athletic clothing, as well as a special biathlon air rifle or a small bore target rifle with a five-shot magazine, or regular single-shot rifles.
Events:Relay, Individual, Sprint and Pursuit races.Current list of the world’s top shooting athletes
It is interesting to keep track of which shooting athletes are the best. Here is a list of important international and national competitions, and you can fill in the blank areas with the names of the current leaders in your favorite disciplines. Use a pencil to record the names and dates so you can always keep your list current.
This is how shooting sports are organized
Organizations for shooting athletes in the United States
USA Shooting (USAS) was chartered by the United States Olympic Committee as the national governing body for the sport of shooting in April 1995. It is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, and has approximately 5000 members.
Youth shooting athletes
The National 4-H Shooting Sports Foundation works with the International Hunter Education Association (IHEA) and USA Shooting. The focus of this program is the development of youth as individuals by helping them learn to shoot, the safe and responsible use of firearms, and the principles of hunting and archery.
Organisations for shooting athletes in the United Kingdom
The National Small-bore Rifle Association was founded in 1901 and is the National Governing Body for smallbore shooting. It is based at Bisley, Surrey and has a membership of about 6,000 individuals and over 1,000 clubs and associations.
NSRA Olympic disciplines
Other disciplines
Young Shooters
The NSRA’s Youth Proficiency Scheme provides a framework through which young people have the opportunity to take up target shooting. The scheme can be run within a shooting club, but is also used by many youth organisations such as the Scout Association, the Cadet Forces and schools.
To find more information or a club go to www.nsra.co.uk.
The international association
The international association of shooting athletes is called the International Shooting SportFederation (ISSF).
The international association of shooting athletes was founded in 1907, as the Union Internationale des Féderations et Associations Nationales de Tir. In 1921, the official name was Union Internationale de Tir (UIT) and since 1998, the official name is International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). The ISSF has 158 member associations from 146 countries and is headquartered in Munich, Germany.
