Thank you for posting this brilliant video! I feel like I just took an introductory course to give me an overview of the sport. (Googles air rifles... questions life decisions... accepts that my path in life will never take me down this road... and is grateful for UA-cam that I get to learn from folks like you!)
As a non junior, what is your advice for getting into ISSF matches? I shoot high power in CMP matches and they have a competition tracker to find matches around the country, but when I try to look up ISSF events, all I see are the highest lever events and can't find anything on how to get started as an adult.
@@kendallmiller-mather2379 Look for clubs hosting smallbore rifle or air rifle matches. Smallbore matches, particularly prone, will be more available for adults. Air rifle matches will be more limited. If you find a smallbore club, opt to shoot with metallic sights if you want a more “authentic” Olympic rifle experience. In the U.S. the major matches that are open to the public would be the national matches at Camp Perry and winter air gun championships in Colorado Springs. These matches follow the same format/rules as ISSF. Participation in an actual ISSF match is limited to a few elite shooters on the national teams.
Thank you very much for sharing it was really cool to see. It would be great if you could join me on one of my live streams as a guest, as I would love to have a chat about this side of the sport
I think the reason no one cares about olympic shooting is because 3 gun, uspsa, and prs exist. 3 gun requires a shooter to develop skills in multiple diciplines. Uspsa is much flashier and would make a great tv sport. PRS really shows off skill and knowledge of your platform as shooters routinely make 1200 yard, cold bore shots. On top of that, all three really help show off more proper shooting techniques as compared to the janky stances of olympic styles
