Target Sports
Overview
Target shooting is one of the 26 Olympic and 21 Paralympic Sports, as well as being one of the events that make up Modern Pentathlon. It is not generally seen as a mainstream activity, but thanks to London2012 and the success of Team GB, the sport of target shooting has seen a marked increase in interest from all ages and abilities. Target shooting is a sport that anyone, of any age, gender and physical ability can participate in along side each other. It can inspire those individuals who aren't particularly interested in, or capable of taking part in, the popular sports. Ferndown Gun Club has one of the most active memberships of any target shooting club in South West England. Our club continues to produce many of the area's top competitive shooters over a wide range of disciplines. Ferndown Gun Club is an accredited Disability Hub Club.
