Shooting
Target shooting will help improve your strength and concentration, while also being an excellent stress reliever.
An Overview of Shooting
About Target Shooting
Target shooting is a great way to get active. There are two target shooting disciplines:
- Supported shooting is when the rifle rests on a stand. This stand takes the rifle's weight and provides some stability. This is used for all beginners.
- Free standing shooting is when the weight of the rifle is supported by the shooter.
Target shooting will help improve your strength and concentration, while also being an excellent stress reliever.
