The result follows from the concentration during each part of the shooting act and the willingness to learn during training and matches. Although a good physical condition and a healthy way of life are desirable in the shooting sport, the capability to concentrate is a condition for success. A victory does not mean that this victory has been taken from somebody else, but that a personal goal has been accomplished. All things necessary for finding satisfaction in partaking in a sport, can be found in and through the shooting sports. In many sports the performance is determined largely by the age of the competitor.
Elderly shooters can still compete very well in matches.
Sports shooting is for men and women, it is a summer- and a wintersport. One can compete both in teams as individually. Also physically handicapped can compete in sports shooting. Shooting is a very individualistic sport. All alone on the shooting stand only the shooter, through perfect control, can shoot the perfect shot.
