Other International target shooting bodies. The Australian International Shooting Limited’s (AISL) objectives are to promote and coordinate responsible shooting sports, both competitive and recreational, within Australia; and to promote and coordinate participation in and organisation of international competitions mindful of providing sustainable international success.
Target shooting is a sport which features on the program of both the Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Games.
Australian athletes have performed outstandingly at both.
AISL is recognised by the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Olympic Committee and the Australian Commonwealth Games Association as the National Sporting Organisation for the target shooting sports. The Australian Sports Commission is the Australian Government body that develops, supports and invests in sport at all levels in Australia. Australian International Shooting Ltd has worked closely with the Australian Sports Commission to develop shooting from community participation to high performance level. As with many sports, grants help to provide support but they do not by themselves cover all costs. Target shooting at the elite level is a very expensive sport, with athletes normally having to meet many thousands of dollars' worth of traveling, accommodation and equipment expenses each year. Target shooting competitions normally last three to four days, and athletes at any level need to be in peak condition before they are in a position to perform at their best.
