Competitions
We encourage our members to compete. Postal competitions must be shot on the home range and the scores sent off to a scorer. Shoulder to shoulder matches are shot in the club range and also at other clubs/ranges.
In past years we have had members sucsessfully compete at National events as far afield as Bisley.

STS Scottish air event March 2022
Nerves of Steel at the Scottish ChampionshipsA group of 7 athletes from Inverness based Target Technique Club entered the recent Scottish 10m Air Championships in Edinburgh. On the first day 6 athletes had won a combined haul of 14 medals. Quite an accomplishment as many had only begun shooting in recent months since covid restrictions were uplifted. On the second day 4 continued in the unclassed Championships undaunted by the opposition which included a number of Olympians and the current rifle World Champion (Eddie the Eagle would have been so proud!). Their youngest competitor Sam Johnson 15 years old qualified for the Junior Finals and continued to 5th place. His performance and scores were noted by a high performance coach and offered a place on the Scottish Squads.
Those attending were Lauren Rogers -Rifle in C Class won 2 x golds, 1 x silver, Jon Laing D Class 2 x silver, Husna Mahmudi (17) Rifle D Class won 2 bronze, Sam Johnson (15) B class 2 x Bronze, Dian Anggreini - Pistol D Class , Adam Johnson - Class D 2 x silver, Maria Maoileoin - Class D 2 x gold, 1x silver.

Precision shooting of this style includes refined muscle and mental control, even shooting between the beat of the heart to reduce movement. The 10 bull is .5 of a mm, the size of a full stop from a ballpoint pen. Nerves can speed the heart rate, which will undoubtedly penalise the resulting score. Have you got what it takes? The club offers a come and try. Feel free to contact them.
