What is this sport all about?The sport of target shooting originated in times of great national danger, when patriotic movements formed rifle clubs so that volunteers in local militia could practice marksmanship. It was soon realised that target shooting was also a relaxing and absorbing sport and hobby. Firearms began to be developed for the shooting range, as much as for the battlefield. Detached from its military origins, it was found that intense concentration and self-control were necessary to shoot well. The body’s reactions to excitement, fear, anger and all other emotions tend to spoil the self-control necessary and so the more successful target shooters try to block them out. It comes as a surprise to newcomers how calm and low-key the whole thing is! |
