The Welsh Target Shooting Federation cordially invites you, to participate in the
which will take place from the 11th to the 13th July 2025.
Competitions will take place at the Swansea Indoor Tennis Centre.
Building on the great success of the Shooting Para Sport Welsh Open Championships held since 2022, the focus of this competition is to continue to celebrate the diversity and inclusivity of target shooting, whilst growing participation numbers.
Entries are open to disabled and non-disabled athletes.
We welcome all disabled shooters, a national or international disability classification for shooting is not required. This will be a great time to meet other athletes and officials to find out how you can become classified, if you want.
Non-disabled athletes are welcome if space permits. We would love to see those who shoot in clubs alongside their disabled friends to also compete in this competition. Priority will be given to non-disabled athletes who are accompanying a disabled athlete.
We look forward to welcoming you in Wales.
Best regards
The Organising Committee
