I just read that ISSF has introduced a new sport combining Rifle shooting and Sprinting. First TARGET SPRINT competition will start is May along with 2013 ISSF Rifle and Pistol World Cup Munich.
I just had a query if some one knows more about it that will this sport be included in events like Common wealth games and Olympic games?

Interesting mix......shaken not stirred.
Shooters will have very high adrln level when shooting, due to running.

The fact that during practice, we have to run at maximum intensity every time before shooting might make it very tough. You have to be a runner first than a shooter to excel in this sport.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

That's more like it and I'll gladly participate even if I have to cough my lungs out.
Reminded me of something similar we did in Bangalore in 2008.

Re: A new shooting sport called TARGET SPRINT
The winter Olympics have the biathlon, where you have to ski and then shoot.Very demanding.The summer version involves running and then shooting.It has been going on for some time now in many other competitions.
Mack, i pursued the thread at length and was highly amused at the name GG.Btw, is this the same gun you saved up for? I don't remember seeing a cheek piece when you showed it to me.
Are you called nawab because you like Hyderabadi food or because you push us around?

I would rather hit my target gently than miss hard.
