ISSF are the "International Sports Shooting Fed" they govern shooting at the highest level of competition like the Olympics & Comm Games. The SSAA are an Australian association that regulates their Aust matches
My sympathies, you are between a rock and a hard place.
Perhaps the English public & Govt should be exposed to MORE target pistol shooting in the lead up to & during your Olympics so that it raises their awareness of the sport then perhps the ban would be removed??
i thought that u guys were getting back air pistol and .22 or is that a roumor? but u r right in my opinion the goverment has no right to take an olympic sport away from its people its just wrong
Sadly tsaketh you are missinformed, Olympic shooting required the utmost of skill & concentration to succeed, generaly those who are'nt any good at it take up the easier "Rambo" spray n pray matches like ipsc, Ive tried it , its too easy to bother with.
I do several different styles of shooting and go to the range every week. Been practicing freepistol for about 18 months now and find the mental concentration needed to get a clean shot extremely difficult to attain consistently. So many rookies start off with a .45 or even 9mm thinking that is what makes them a real shooter and consequently never even get past the rookie stage because they pick up the worst habits like jerking the trigger due to anticipation of the recoil. Sucks to be them.
I enjoy all forms of target shooting but I'd rather put a lot of thought& practice into getting a 10 or bullseye in the free pistol match rather than blaze off hundreds of rounds of .38super from 10yards and wonder why i cant get the middle of the target. I teach ppl how to use the air pistol over 10 metres and later go onto the .22 then .38 etc
hmm oh really have u ever even fired a gun? do u know how hard it is to shoot properly the amount of concerntration u need to try and make the perfect shot? i would like to c u try and shoot a sport match and shoot a perfect score lol u would proly never break d grade lol
Competition is a part of any game or match, having the determination and will to win, this does not make ISSF members "snobs" but single minded in achieving a victory. The ISSF matches I shoot are the same the world over unlike the matches the SSAA shoot where the rules change from club to club to maximise the local members chances of winning but then you SSAA lot dont play to win right?, you only enjoy playing with your guns in a non competitive way.
Yes i remember a SSAA member telling his kid-" Dont look at the sights, look at the bank up there to see the hits". Mind u he was also dressed like Danial Boon.
Whats the diff between the ISSF i've heard of SSAA, but never ISSF.

Please pass on this message and boycott the 2012 Olympics in England.
The Government banned pistol shooting and ownership in 1998 10years ago.
GB Olympic team have to fly to Switzerland to practise and leave pistols there.
The whole thing is a sham and former UK pistol shooters are p***ed off that this hasn't been flagged up as a big issue

God Olypmic Pistol is a freaking joke.
Set a min caliber of .45 and shoot while moving, then you'll prove something as a shooter.

ISSF snobbery is getting real tiresome :/

And SSAA inferiority complex is sad.
Confuscious say "If you cant shoot for shit then join the SSAA, if you are half competant and enjoy international competition join the ISSF"

You ISSF blokes are sadly misled.
Us SSAA professionals know the most accurate shooting stance - from the hip on full auto.
