Shooting sports in the Netherlands
Shooting sports in the Netherlands is a versatile and challenging discipline practised by more than 40,000 people. It is a sport that requires concentration, precision and a calm mind. At shooting clubs, which are usually affiliated to the Royal Dutch Shooting Sports Association (KNSA), you can practise various shooting disciplines such as small and large calibre rifle, air rifle and handguns.
The role of the KNSA
The KNSA is the umbrella organisation for shooting sports in the Netherlands and provides support to shooting clubs and sport shooters. They enforce laws and regulations, organise competitions and offer training for sport shooters. Members of a shooting club are obliged to also become members of the KNSA, which ensures a uniform standard within the sport.
Shooting sport as a top sport
Dutch shooters also have international prestige, participating in Olympics and world championships. To perform at this level, in addition to technical skills, good physical fitness and mental resilience are essential. Sport shooters train regularly to improve their precision and responsiveness, making the sport a serious and demanding activity.
Safety First
Safety is a top priority in shooting sports. Before new members are allowed to shoot independently, they go through an intensive instruction period where they learn not only shooting techniques, but also the safety protocols that are essential to prevent accidents. Proper handling of weapons and adherence to safety rules are crucial to ensure a safe and enjoyable shooting experience.
