Modern Print Inclusive Target Club Pembrokeshire - Blind Shooting

With £5,700 of new shooting kit for the visually impaired, a Pembrokeshire shooting club is proving inclusive by name, inclusive by nature.

The Modern Print Inclusive Target Shooting Club in Pembroke Dock received a Sport Wales grant of £4,560 for the new kit to offer more opportunities at the successful club.

With members regularly winnng medals, and representing Wales and Great Britain, the club has now sets its targets on forming a visually impaired team to compete against others across the country.

The new equipment includes two air rifles, targets and the important electronic blind sights. The blind sights use a laser at a target that varies in colour from the centre outwards. When the laser gets closer to the centre of the target it sends a high pitched sound to the earphones being worn by the shooter.

The shooter has to make the judgement on when to pull the trigger in the hope of getting the maximum 10 point shot.
