SRA-shooting

The SRA-shooting is a shooting sport based on the concept of practical shooting. It originates from Finland. Whole name is sovellettu reserviläisammunta and translates as applied reservists' shooting. It resembles IPSC a lot. The objective of the sport is to develop the weapon handling and marksmanship skills of the athlete.[1] The weapon types used in SRA are rifle, pistol, shotgun and sniper rifle, with emphasis on rifle and pistol.[2]

The rules of the sport are regulated by the Finnish Reservist Sports Federation (RESUL). International Federation SRA[3] is the global governing body of the sport.

In IPSC it is strictly forbidden to wear any military styled clothes unless competitor is in active service. In SRA military outlook is promoted.
