Shooting Sports in the Netherlands
Shooting sports in the Netherlands is a versatile and challenging discipline practiced 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 with the Royal Dutch Shooting Association (KNSA), you can practice various shooting disciplines such as small and large caliber rifle, air rifle, and handguns.
The Role of the KNSA
The KNSA is the umbrella organization for shooting sports in the Netherlands and provides support to shooting clubs and sports shooters. They ensure compliance with laws and regulations, organize competitions, and offer training for sports shooters. Members of a shooting club are required to also be members of the KNSA, ensuring a uniform standard within the sport.

Dutch shooters also have international recognition, with participation in the Olympic Games and world championships. To perform at this level, in addition to technical skills, good physical condition and mental resilience are essential. Sports shooters regularly train to improve their precision and reaction time, making the sport a serious and demanding activity.
Safety First
Safety is a top priority in shooting sports.
