International Target Sports Shooting For All

  

AISL_Brochure_03Target shooting is a sport which features on the program of both the Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Games. In recent times Australian athletes have performed outstandingly at both.

Australian International Shooting Limited’s (AISL) objectives are to promote and co-ordinate responsible shooting sports, both competitive and recreational, within Australia; and to promote and co-ordinate participation in and organisation of international competitions.

The AISL is supported by the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Olympic Committee and the Australian Commonwealth Games Association.

AISL has five member bodies:

  • Australian Clay Target Association
  • Field and Game Federation of Australia
  • National Rifle Association of Australia
  • Pistol Australia
  • Target Rifle Australia

 

Recognised by ...

 

Australian International Shooting Limited is recognised as the peak body for the target shooting sports in Australia by and is the affiliated body to, the:

  • Australian Sports AISL_Brochure_01
  • Commission (ASC)
  • Australian Olympic
  • Committee (AOC)
  • Australian Commonwealth Games
  • Association (ACGA)
  • International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF)
  • Commonwealth Shooting
  • Federation (CSF)

  • International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union (IMSSU)

Support:

AISL employs four full time World renowned coaches to support the High Performance areas relating to the Olympics and Commonwealth Games. The knowledge and flow on effect of these coaches filters down through the coaching system to the club competitor who may be looking for a little assistance to improve performance.

 

Family Friendly and Safe

 

AISL_Brochure_02As the sport caters for juniors and adults alike, families are given the opportunity to be involved in the sport together - a family that plays together stays together.

Safety is paramount and is the first lesson taught to all. There are safety procedures which are closely followed for every level and discipline of the sport.

 

 

Costs

In the first instance you may be able to enjoy the benefits of using a club firearm to try the sport. As you become more involved in your chosen discipline you may wish to obtain your own equipment; at this stage the Club captain or Club Coach can assist you with the necessary information on licenses and equipment required.

As with many sports, grants for the elite athletes will assist in providing support, but they do not cover all expenses.
