SUMMARY

We at Target Rifle Australia hope that this booklet sets you successfully on your path into your chosen
sport and we recommend that once ready you also read the information available on our website at
www.tra.org.au where you will find additional articles covering new areas of shooting and other articles
expanding on the topics covered within this booklet.

Your local club is also a great place to learn by utilising the knowledge of the range officers, club officials
and your fellow athletes. Many clubs in Australia have one or more very experienced athletes who at
some point have represented Australia in competition. Ask nicely and they will be more than happy to
pass on their hints and tips. You may even acquire a new coach!

In summary, target shooting can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or gender. It is a good family
activity, an enjoyable recreation and a serious competitive sport.

Australian teams are selected for the Olympic Games, the Commonwealth Games, the World
Championships and various Regional Championships. Teams and individuals have been successful in
previous years and won numerous medals at these events.

The only questions left are what shooting events do you want to try and how far do you want to go!
