Besides regular overseas competitions, we also send our shooters to overseas training camps in Europe. The Academy has been to centres in Germany and Montenegro who have experts that provide gun maintenance services. Student-athletes have their guns serviced and fine-tuned, and pellets matched to their guns to increase the accuracy of each shot. Postural analysis and eye testing are also conducted. Sports School’s shooters have also had opportunities to train alongside Olympic and world-class shooters.
