Training for National, International & Olympic Competitions

The ultimate goal for any athlete who shoots a 10-meter air rifle or air pistol is to compete in national, international, and Olympic events. It takes a mix of extraordinary talent, constant attention, extreme discipline, and years of committed training to reach these peaks. Whether you want to compete in the Olympics or represent your nation internationally, the journey requires mental and physical preparation.

National Level

Most shooters who want to earn a spot in more prestigious international contests start with national competitions. The national shooting organisation typically hosts these competitions, which give you a chance to compete against the best athletes in the nation.

International Level

The next level of competitive shooting is represented by international events like the ISSF World Cups, World Championships, and Continental Championships. Shooters who do well at national competitions could be asked to compete in these prestigious tournaments on behalf of their nation. These competitions draw the top athletes in the world and provide useful experience for those hoping to compete at the Olympic level.

Olympic Stage

For many 10-meter air rifle and air pistol shooters, the Olympic Games are the ultimate aim. Only the world's top shooters are able to get a spot, demonstrating the intense rivalry. Years of practice, steady top-tier performances, and unflinching dedication are necessary to make it to the Olympic stage.
