General characteristics of shooting as a sport. sports shooting

I recently got into a fight with a "famous journalist" who, as unfortunately often happens with "famous journalists", having slightly touched on any topic, already consider themselves unsurpassed experts and give out advice as a mega-guru.

So, let's talk about self defense with weapons and application of different skills in the above self defense.

In order not to get accused of trying to brazenly enter a closed clan of megagurus, distributing advice to everyone and about everything, I will immediately announce what I start all my lectures with. Namely, all of the following is based on personal experience , personal subject matter analysis , and in no way claims to be the ultimate truth.

And only after the listener (reader) compares what is described by the author as with personal experience and the analysis of the subject, and with the experience and analysis of others, the listener (reader) will be able to get only a little closer to the truth. No more.

Analysis of shooting sports

1. Sports shooting (bullet)

It doesn't matter if it's a pistol or a rifle. Pneumatics, .22LR, or so far rare competitions in our country with the use of "heavy calibers" - in any case, this is a very difficult sport that requires the highest nervous concentration, multiplied by the engineering component - high-quality weapons, ammunition, sights, etc.

Practical application - military / police sniping, hunting.

2. High-speed pistol shooting ("Olympic")

A complex sport that requires high concentration and motor skills developed over the years. Due to the fact that shooting is always carried out from the same distance at targets always located in the same way, I could not think of a practical application.

Will explain. A few years ago, I held a local match with a carbine. One of the respected shooters built the exercise described in the briefing and spent quite a lot of time developing motor skills in this exercise. At the match, the author changed the distance to the targets and between the targets - and the shooter's exercise "didn't work" - the motor skills were sharpened for other distances.

3. Bench shooting (round stand)

The development of motor skills of the tab and shot in eight positions. With the exception of a doublet, shooting at the same point.

self defense

4. Trench stand

The development of motor skills of the tab and shot when shooting at a flying target. Development of reaction speed, since the direction of launch is unknown.

Practical application - hunting. IN self defense- the operating time of the first high-speed shot from a long-barreled weapon.

4. Sporting as a hybrid of a round and trench stand

Practical application - hunting. IN self defense- the operating time of the first high-speed shot from a long-barreled weapon.

5. IPSC/IPSC Practical Shooting

Excellent dynamic and spectacular view sports. All types of weapons - pistol (revolver), rifle, carbine. Never repetitive exercises. The bottom line is the balance of accuracy and speed (I'll miss the power). Operating time at various distances on various targets, including on the move and from uncomfortable positions. Working out constant control over the weapon (the direction of the barrel, the position of the finger outside the trigger guard, etc.), including when moving, reloading, eliminating delays and malfunctions. Development of a high-quality retention of weapons when moving, changing the shooting stance and position, firing a shot (especially with a "flash" - two in a row).

IN self defense- Accumulation of a high-speed first shot from a weapon that is in various positions (loaded, unloaded, on the belt, in hands, in a drawer, cabinet, etc.). Shooting from awkward positions. Shooting at various targets, including partially closed ones. Shooting on the go.

6. Applied shooting IDPA

All the same as described in the previous chapter on IPSC. Reality is added by the use of exclusively “ordinary” barrels, without the bells and whistles such as collimator sights, muzzle compensators and magazines for 30 rounds. Holsters and pouches are also common, adapted for concealed carry on the belt. A special zest is added by the indispensable use of a jacket that covers the weapon. Mandatory test: with the jacket unbuttoned and arms spread at shoulder level, the weapon should not be visible).

In addition, the exercise is carried out "in the dark", not being able to get acquainted with the target environment. Another important point- it is mandatory to use shelters, and control the position of the body when shooting from behind cover.

IN self defense- in addition to what is described in the chapter IPSC- this is the first shot with the weapon drawn out from under the clothes, the use of shelters for protection when shooting.

The use of various types of weapons in self-defense

Carbine

Affordable but the most dangerous view weapons in self defense. The defender can never predict in which direction the bullet fired by him will go, and it does not matter whether this bullet hit the attacker or passed by. The main thing is that this bullet can also hit an innocent person (and more than one ...). Also, one should not forget about the possible rebound, which can hit both the shooter and those whom he protects.

shotgun

A type of weapon with a limited scope.

I hardly imagine in our realities a respectable citizen who always and everywhere moves with a gun. Therefore, it is a weapon to protect against penetration into the house, and from intruders and dangerous animals in "wild" places.

Pistol (revolver)

The most effective, but also the most inaccessible type of weapon in our realities. High efficiency based on the main principle always with me, always with me ". Inaccessibility - the lack of weapons legislation and the creation of a caste of "specially elected" (by the President, the heads of the SBU, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Armed Forces of Ukraine), awarded with pistols (sometimes several), including some "well-known journalists."

Traumatic weapon

An extremely dangerous and unnecessary weapon. The danger is considered in several planes:

  • With enough of our society, the concept of "traumatic weapon" sharply reduces the psychological threshold for use. If it hits certain parts of the body, even with certified ammunition, a lethal outcome is possible. And further in the criminal case “firearms” will appear;
  • when all the rules are followed (do not shoot at the head and neck area and from a distance of less than a meter) at an attacker dressed in winter clothes, in a state of one type or another of intoxication, the application injury may not have the expected effect, with unpredictable consequences for the shooter.

self defense

It is possible to imagine very few situations where self defense you will have time to comprehend the situation, take a comfortable and safe position. This is either when reflecting penetration into the premises, or when deciding to provide assistance to a third party. In most cases, the attack occurs suddenly.

The author came across statistics for the United States, which indicated that in 70% the police could not repel the attack of intruders with a knife from a distance of 7-8 meters. These are their police officers, with a pistol in an open holster, with a cartridge in the chamber, constant (not like ours - 3 shots every six months) shooting training. Therefore, in application weapons for self defense There is such an important aspect as readiness. Technical. Physical. Psychological. It is not natural for a person to be constantly in suspense, expecting danger. Even the most trained bodyguards don't have eyes in the back of their heads, and only work effectively as a group.

Remember - the best self defense is to do everything to avoid conflict.

Take care of yourself!

At first glance, shooting bears little resemblance to sports in the general sense of the word. Fixed fabrication. Almost inconspicuous, rare, mean movements. And again immobility. How far from all this exciting dynamics wrestling. Still, shooting is a sport.

Bullet shooting has its own "sprint" distances and its own "marathon". For example, for 60 test shots 72 seconds ("olympic" - MP-8), and for the exercise, where the shooter fires from three positions (lying, standing, kneeling), 4.5 hours are allotted. Each shot in the series is a start, and not the best of them count, but all. Exercises, especially from arbitrary rifles weighing up to 8 kg, require significant strength and endurance to carry out from 75 to 150 test shots in any weather conditions. In terms of the duration of the loads, their tension and intensity, bullet shooting has no equal. At competitions, performing the "standard 3x40" exercise, the shooter works on the firing line for about 6 hours and loses several kilograms in weight during the entire exercise.

Bullet shooting makes specific demands on the physical abilities of an athlete. If for representatives of speed-strength sports physical training is the leading one in the process of training, then bullet shooting imposes limited requirements in this sense, designed for the optimal development of such special physical qualities like coordination, static endurance. With the same technical readiness physically developed arrows have an advantage.

Each athlete before the competition and during them is covered with excitement. However, such a negative influence of this factor on the result, as in bullet shooting, is not observed in any sport. This is due to the fact that the actions of the shooter are in the nature of finely and precisely coordinated movements, which vary greatly under the influence of the state of the shooter. Bullet shooting requires a huge concentration of attention, a strong tension of the nervous system.

Bullet shooting, like other sports, makes great demands on the athlete as a person. He must have high emotional stability, sufficient volitional qualities. At the right moment, the shooter must be able to concentrate, disconnect from the environment, suppress involuntary thoughts that are not related to the work being done. In bullet shooting exercises are diverse. They are made from weapons that have different technical and ballistic characteristics.

Arbitrary rifles have a relatively large weight - up to 8 kg, diopter sight. The tension of the trigger is arbitrary. The stock has a pistol grip with a cutout for thumb, the stock comb can move in the vertical direction. It is allowed to use the hook of the butt plate. Trigger mechanism most often with an accelerator.

Standard rifles have significant differences: there is no stand, recoil hook, trigger. The weight must not exceed 5 kg.

An air rifle is fired at a distance of 10 m. The diameter of the "tens" on the target is only 1 mm.

Developing and educating functions of bullet shooting

Bullet shooting plays a certain role both in the physical and in the moral, moral-volitional development of a person.
Schoolchildren, when practicing bullet shooting, develop the following qualities:

    Psychological activity

    Attention

  • Emotional stability

    Thinking

    Volitional efforts

Psychological activity is closely related to attention. Attention is specific and cannot be directed to a large number of objects at the same time.

Shooting classes are built in such a way that psychological activity is selective and, depending on the stage of each shot, attention is focused on its elements in turn, depending on its relevance.

Shooting develops memory

Shooters have such a thing as a "shot mark" - imprinting the position of sights in relation to the aiming point or area at the moment the trigger is released. If the shooter at this time does not concentrate on the mark of the shot and at least mentally repeats this mark several times, then later it will be impossible to remember how this shot was fired. A special type of memory is the so-called "muscle memory", which consists of remembering certain muscle sensations. The shooter, constantly fixing in memory muscle sensations under conditions of rational production, will eventually be able to recreate it in all even the smallest details as many times as necessary.

Shooting competitions are emotionally intense, so shooters must develop resistance to stressful situations, control over emotions.

Bullet shooting also develops associative thinking. So, instead of saying every time: "The position of the body of the shooter with the weapon in relation to the aiming point or area", they use the concept of "readiness". Concepts are usually expressed in terms that should not give rise to any side interpretations in the shooter's mind.

When engaging in bullet shooting, such strong-willed qualities as purposefulness, perseverance, endurance, self-control are developed. An obligatory factor in the manifestation and development of the will is overcoming obstacles. For the shooter, these are objective conditions of activity that interfere with the achievement of the goal in the process of shooting.

Bullet shooting requires good physical preparation, developed central nervous system. Also developing vestibular apparatus, visual analyzer. Great educational value bullet shooting. Boys acquire skills in handling weapons, because they are future hunters and warriors. During classes and competitions, discipline, responsibility, and independence are brought up in schoolchildren. Athletes-shooters are hardworking.

Particular attention is paid to the safety of handling weapons.

Teaching schoolchildren shooting techniques

From the very first lesson, it is necessary to teach students to observe safety measures when handling weapons, the rules for saving, inspecting weapons and preparing them for firing.

For beginners, a typical mistake is to wait for a shot, which negatively affects its execution (push with the shoulder of the butt, pulling the trigger). Therefore, during this period, the use of simulators, training without a cartridge is mandatory.

The aiming process can be divided into 3 stages.

    See the slit of the sight clearly and brightly with the leading eye.

    Through the slot of the sight, the shooter must find the front sight and see it clearly.

    Bring the entire system "mane of the sight - front sight" under the apple of the target or the center of the target. The shooter sees the target very vaguely, blurry. He shifts his gaze from the front sight to the target, clarifies the aiming, looks at the front sight. The main attention should be paid to the image of the front sight and mane of the sight. They should be visible clearly, and the target should be blurry.

The difficulties of aiming with an open sight are due to the fact that the eye, as an optical device, cannot simultaneously clearly see two or more objects at different distances from it.

Bullet shooting became part of the very first official Olympic Games organized by in 1896. At the same time, the shooters fired both from a pistol and from rifles.

Reference. Suggested the idea of ​​including a seven-time French shooting champion Pierre de Coubertin.

International competitions

The world championship in firing weapons was organized for the first time back in 1897 after the first Olympic Games. Since then, championships have been held regularly every year.

Types of weapons for bullet shooting

Bullet type shooting is carried out from three main types of weapons. In particular, these are small-caliber, large-caliber and pneumatic types. In this case, all three types include both pistols and rifles.

Each type has its own programs (exercises) that athletes perform in competitions. different levels. Many of them have become part of the Olympic Games.

Pneumatic rifle

Both types of pneumatic weapons have a standard caliber of 4.5mm. This discipline includes two main programs:

  1. VP-4. Performed by both women and representatives of the stronger sex. Need to do 40 shots from a distance of 10 meters on a target with a total diameter 30.5mm. At the same time, the diameter of the center, where all athletes strive to get to win, is only 5 mm. The exercise is performed for an hour.
  2. VP-4. Performed by men only. You need to shoot while standing from a short distance in 10 meters. They count 60 tries. allocated to the entire program 1 hour 15 minutes.

Photo 1. Pneumatic rifle for bullet shooting. The body of the weapon is made of wood.

Air gun

This type of shooting consists of three main programs:

  1. PP-1. From a short distance 10 meters athlete performs 20 credit shots. In this case, the target must have a diameter 59.5 mm, but the "tens" - 11.5mm. Before the shot, each athlete is allowed to perform an unlimited number of control (trial) shots. It is worth noting that this task is not performed by athletes at the Olympic Games.
  2. PP-2. The same short distance 10 meters. They count 40 shots that are produced within an hour.
  3. PP-3. Same distance and target. Produced 60 shots within 1 hour 25 minutes or 1 hour 30 minutes depending on whether electronic targets are installed.

small caliber rifle

Rifle and pistol can only have one caliber - 5.6 mm. This discipline also includes three main programs:

  1. MV-5. Girls do it from a distance of 50 meters in three different positions in such a mandatory sequence: from the knee, lying, standing. In each position, you need to 20 shots, that is, in total in the program there are 60. At the same time, one position provides 4 test targets for trial attempts, which in the end do not count. The number of the latter is not limited in any way, but there is a certain time limit: 15 minutes.

Photo 2. Small-caliber rifle MV-5 for bullet shooting. A convenient sight is located on the body of the weapon.

  1. MV-6. Only suitable for guys. Also performed from three positions from a distance of 50 meters. The difference from the female version is what needs to be done 120 shots. Of these, for each position - 40 attempts.
  2. MV-9. Performed by both boys and girls. Fire is only fired from a comfortable prone position. Performed 60 shots from the same distance as in previous programs. The entire program may take approximately 50 minutes. More time is not available.

  1. MP-5. This program is for girls only. It includes two mandatory parts. The first one is called MP-4: from a relatively short distance to 25 meters gotta hit the target № 4. For this, it is given 30 attempts(quantity divided by 6 episodes). Second part - MP-2. It consists in shooting at an emerging target. It also counts 30 attempts. Only one is given to complete 3 seconds. Targets appear at the same time every 7 seconds. Between the first and second parts, the participants are given a break of half an hour.
  2. MP-8. Suitable only for the stronger sex, as it is more difficult. As well as women's program consists of two parts. First - MP-7. The distance is only 25 meters, and the number of shots counted - 30 . The first five shots can be test shots: they are given a total 8 seconds. Those that already count after the trial are made as follows: 2 series of 8 seconds, 2 of 6 and 2 of 4. Next, the athlete performs a program called MP-8. As a rule, between the first and second part there is a break of half an hour.

Is there any benefit?

Bullet shooting certainly has its fans. She is attractive and very useful for the development of accuracy and speed of reaction. And this sport helps to significantly improve concentration.

sports shooting - a sport in which athletes compete in shooting accuracy with different types weapons.

The history of the emergence and development of sports shooting

Shooting is considered one of the oldest applied sports. It appeared in the distant times of bows and crossbows. In the middle of the XIV century, bows and crossbows evolved into firearms, after which bullet shooting began to develop actively.

In 1449, the first shooting societies began to appear in France, later they appeared in England and the USA.

In 1896, rifle and pistol shooting competitions were included in the program of the first Olympic Games in 1896, and from 1897 world championships in bullet shooting began to be held regularly.

Types of sports shooting

bullet shooting- one of the types shooting sports, in which athletes compete in shooting from pneumatic, small-caliber, large-caliber rifles and pistols. Bullet shooting is olympic view sports, in particular Olympic program includes 5 exercises for shooting from a rifle (MV-5, VP-4, MV-6, MV-9, VP-6) and the same number from a pistol (MP-5, PP-2, MP-6, MP-8, PP-3).

Abbreviations for the type of weapon:

VP- pneumatic rifle
MV- small caliber rifle

The numbers in the abbreviations indicate the serial number of the exercise in the national sports classification on bullet shooting.

Bench shooting- one of the types of shooting sports, in which athletes compete in shooting at open shooting ranges. Shooting is carried out with shot from smoothbore guns at special targets-plates.

The Olympic Games include 3 disciplines of clay shooting:

  • Round stand - athletes fire on skeet, moving from one shooting place to another (8 in total), as well as changing the angle of fire relative to the trajectories of outgoing targets.
  • Trench stand - athletes fire at skeet thrown out of the trench in a random direction.
  • Double-trap - the same as the trench stand, but the plates are thrown in pairs and the shooting is carried out in a doublet.

Practical shooting - one of the types of shooting sports, the purpose of which is the assimilation and development of techniques that most fully meet the various cases of the use of firearms.

Shooting skill is evaluated as a balance of three main components:

  • Accuracy - points for hitting targets;
  • Speed ​​- time from the start signal to the last shot;
  • Power - the use of weapons of greater power is encouraged big amount points awarded for hitting scoring areas of targets, in addition, a minimum caliber and a minimum power factor are established.

The result is the sum of the scores for hitting all targets, including penalties, divided by the execution time.

Shooting from the bench (benchrest) is one of the types of shooting sports, the goal of the athletes is to make five (or ten) shots at the scoring target; the smaller the group size, the higher the shooter will place in the end of the competition. Shooting is carried out while sitting at a special table with the rifle set at point-blank range for shooting.

There are the following disciplines of shooting from the table:

  • benchrest BR-50 - shooting from small-caliber devices;
  • short benchrest - shooting at a distance of 100, 200 or 300 (meters or yards);
  • benchrest Long Range - shooting at a distance: 500, 600, 1000 (meters or yards) and a mile.

Varminting- one of the types of shooting sports, in which athletes compete in shooting at long and ultra-long distances, mainly at rodents. It is allowed to use artificial targets imitating the silhouette of marmots.

sniping- one of the types of shooting sports, in which athletes compete in shooting from sniper weapons.

Shooting competitions

Olympic Games are held every four years.

Shooting World Championship - in bullet shooting is held every four years, and in trap shooting- every two years.

World Cup - held 4 times a year, but only in Olympic disciplines.

The European Championship is a competition for the best shooters in Europe, held every two years.

Pan American Games (eng. Pan American Games) - major international competitions By summer species sports are held every four years.

These competitions are directly monitored by the International Shooting Sport Federation, as world records can be set at them.

Sports shooting structures

International Sports Shooting Federation(English International Sport Shooting Federation, ISSF) is a sports structure that controls and coordinates the activities of its member national shooting federations.

We tried to cover the topic as fully as possible, so this information can be safely used in the preparation of messages, reports on physical education and abstracts on the topic "Sport shooting".

The history of bullet shooting has quite old roots.

Competitions for accuracy, for hitting the "bull's eye" are counted from competitions in archery and crossbow.

With the advent of firearms in the middle of the 14th century, shooting competitions began. First with smoothbore guns. And creation rifled weapons led to the development of such a sport as bullet shooting.

Unlike other sports where athletes compete in single combat with each other, in bullet shooting the shooter fights the most difficult of fights - a duel with himself. Here it is important to be able to control yourself, show everything that you have learned in training, use your competitive experience.

Accurate sports shooting is a difficult-coordinating skill. Everyone can master it, but with the expenditure of a lot of work and time to study the basics of the theory of shooting, the material part of the weapon, and most importantly, to master the technique of a well-aimed shot, to systematically improve its elements, to consolidate and improve acquired skills.

Shooting lessons form an athlete's composure, endurance, observation, eye and the will to win. Achieving records requires not only perfect shooting technique, but also the ability to control your emotions.

Rifle and pistol shooting competitions were included in the program of the first Olympic Games in 1896.

The actions of the shooter are characterized by monotony, static work of the muscles of the legs, torso and arms at the time of the shot. The process of making a shot requires fine coordination of movements and muscle memory.

Bullet shooting makes specific demands on the physical abilities of an athlete. If for representatives of speed-strength sports physical training is the leading one in the training process, then bullet shooting imposes limited requirements in this sense, designed for the optimal development of such special physical qualities as coordination - stability, static endurance.

Each athlete before the competition and during them is covered with excitement. However, such a negative effect of this factor on the result, as in bullet shooting, is not observed in any other sport. This is due to the fact that the actions of the shooter are in the nature of finely and precisely coordinated movements, which vary greatly under the influence of the state of the shooter.

At the right moment, the shooter must be able to concentrate, disconnect from the environment, not notice the presence of spectators, judges, not react to noise, conversations, etc., suppress involuntary thoughts that are not related to the work being done.

Shooting is carried out in closed, open and semi-closed shooting ranges and shooting ranges at various distances: 10, 25, 50, 300 m. The rate and rhythm of shooting, the selection of appropriate sights and light filters, the method of aiming and trigger control . Unexpected changes in light require the shooter to take immediate action.

Wind has a significant effect on shooting, which reduces the stability of the “shooter-weapon” system, as well as the ambient temperature. Mirage can be attributed to one of the most difficult obstacles for marksmanship. Each shooting range and shooting range, although they meet the requirements of the rules of the competition, still have their own characteristics, on which the result of shooting depends to a certain extent.

There is a constant unceasing noise in the line of fire and it's not just the sounds of shots. For the shooter, these sounds are, as it were, a background and are perceived by him subconsciously. The source of constant noise is the movement of spectators and judges, the conversations of spectators and much more. From the whole variety of sounds, the subconscious mind of the shooter highlights those that are significant for him. This may be an appeal to him, a remark, advice or an exchange of opinions between viewers about his results, behavior, equipment. The reaction to these irritations can cause hasty, ill-conceived actions and, as a result, the loss of precious points.

The chief physician of the medical and physical education dispensary Lyueva Elena Borisovna tells us about the benefits and harms of this sport for health:

Bullet shooting plays a certain role both in the physical and in the moral-volitional development of a teenager. Schoolchildren, when practicing bullet shooting, develop such qualities as psychological activity, attention, emotional stability, strong-willed efforts.

Psychological activity is closely related to attention. Shooting classes are built in such a way that psychological activity is selective and, depending on the stage of execution of each shot, attention is focused on its elements in turn.

Shooting develops memory. Shooters have such a thing as “shot mark” - imprinting the position of sights in relation to the aiming point or area at the moment the trigger is released. There is always emotional tension in shooting competitions, so shooting athletes must develop resistance to stressful situations and control over emotions. The only thing that can suffer when practicing bullet shooting is the eyes. To do this, it is necessary to carry out prevention, drink vitamins for the eyes.

I suggest you get acquainted with a bullet shooting coach

Ilnitskaya Tatiana, candidate for master of sports in shooting, has been engaged in this sport for more than 20 years. Favorite type of weapon is a rifle. She became a coach by the will of fate. There was no one to take care of the kids. In 2002, a bullet shooting department was opened at the base sports school"Zhastar".

"Lada": Tatyana, at what age do you accept children in the section?

Tatyana Ilnitskaya:We accept children from 12 years of age. Training is free, trainings are held from morning to evening. The guys come at a convenient time for them.

"Lada": How many people are constantly engaged in the section? And who is more - boys or girls?

Tatyana Ilnitskaya: The section has 60-70 people. The vast majority are boys. But we have a lot of stubborn girls who achieve good results. Our athletes travel to regional competitions and overall results we have good scores.

"Lada": What are the requirements for those wishing to come to study in the section?

Tatyana Ilnitskaya: Bullet shooting, like other sports, makes great demands on the athlete as a person. He must have high moral qualities, emotional stability. In extreme conditions, the athlete must show such qualities of character as perseverance, determination and endurance.

"Lada":Bullet shooting is a non-dynamic sport, athletes spend hours learning to stand and hold weapons in their hands. Does it happen that after a couple of classes the guys do not return to you?

Tatyana Ilnitskaya: Yes, this happens often. I would say that this sport is very good for phlegmatic and calm people. Coming to us, many are waiting for a drive, that they will immediately be given weapons in their hands and there will be an opportunity to shoot. This is wrong. We teach first general position, rules of conduct in the shooting range, racks, and only after a couple of months we are allowed to shoot.

"Lada": How much does a sports uniform cost?

Tatyana Ilnitskaya:You don't need a uniform for training, only for competitions A kit for a shooter costs about 150,000 tenge. Of no small importance is the fact that the uniforms are given to athletes in the section and there is no need to buy it yourself. It was given to us by sponsors. The only problem in the shooting range is that there are not enough high-quality weapons, all of which have been left over from the times of the USSR.




When we entered the shooting range, we saw how the novice athletes stand motionless in the stance. It turns out that in this position they can stand for hours - this is necessary in order for the hand to get used to the weapon, as well as to improve coordination of movement.

Only guys from senior group fired accurately at the target. This shooting range teaches to shoot from pneumatic, small-caliber and large-caliber pistols and rifles.

The professional form of the shooter weighs 3-4 kg. The jacket with special inserts on the back and elbows resembles a corset, it is impossible to bend in it, and leather gloves are an essential attribute of an athlete.

My joy knew no bounds when they gave me a rifle. Once I had the opportunity to shoot at the Dynamo stadium in Moscow and smell the smell of gunpowder from Mosin three-line rifle, "Saiga" and "Kalashnikov". Love to firearms I have been experiencing since childhood. This is drive and adrenaline - at such a moment you feel like a Bond girl.


Now the section is recruiting girls under 16 years old. Why girls? - you ask. So girls can not only “shoot” with their eyes, but also handle weapons well.

I want to wish you, dear readers, good health, excellent exposure and 100% accuracy!
