Smallbore Target Rifle Shooting is a sport which can be enjoyed by male and female, young and old, able bodied and those with disabilities, people with good eyesight or those who wear glasses, in fact people from all walks of life.

TARGET SHOOTING NZ Inc manages and promotes the sport of smallbore (0.22 calibre) and air rifle (0.177 calibre) target shooting in NZ.

We have around 1,000 members and assist our 120+ Clubs around NZ with administration, training, safety, publicity, and membership initiatives. TSNZ runs local, NZ-wide, and International competitions and events, including those specifically for Secondary School students.

Our events currently include 20yd and 25yd Indoor Prone, 50m Outdoor Prone, 50m Outdoor 3 Position (kneeling, standing and prone), Indoor and Outdoor Benchrest, and 10m Air Rifle for both able bodied and disabled shooters. There are separate events for boys/men and girls/women as well as Open combined events.

By being part of a TSNZ Club shooters learn firearms safety and become part of a well-regulated and safe environment, and groups such as businesses, Scouts/Guides and schools can also benefit from this by taking part in organised group introductory sessions.
