Shooting - Pistol & Rifle
The Games shooting programme normally includes air pistol and air rifle events as a minimum. Where available facilities and legislation on the Host Island allow, then there is also the possibility of selected pistol and rifle events, often small-bore and sometimes also full-bore. Target shooting sports exist on many competing islands, where gun laws are often more relaxed, and there is a strong shooting community at the Games.
Members of Lerwick Rifle and Pistol Club have attended previous Games, with our most successful and experienced airpistol shooters being Kevin Gray and Dave Lewis, who have both represented Scotland on a number of occasions. They have both won several Games medals for pistol events, including golds, as individuals and as a pair, since first competing at the 1995 Games in Gibraltar.
Lerwick Rifle and Pistol Club is currently not represented on the SIGA Committee.
