ISSF - International Shooting Sport Federation

The ISSF is committed to leveraging the latest technological innovations to connect with new audiences—especially young people—and introduce them to the sport of shooting in exciting and accessible ways. Whether as athletes, officials, or fans, more people than ever can now engage with shooting sport through cutting-edge digital experiences.

Our strategy is clear: Virtual Reality (VR) and Esports are designed to enhance traditional shooting sport, not replace it. These innovations add value by offering fresh, interactive opportunities while preserving the essence of our sport.

Pioneering Virtual Reality in Shooting Sport

At the Olympic Games Paris 2024, visitors to the ISSF House will be among the first to experience an exclusive VR shooting platform, developed in partnership with Breaking Studio. This exciting initiative will serve as a trial, with plans to integrate VR into future ISSF events, bringing a new dimension to the shooting sport experience.

Leading the Way in Esports

ISSF has been at the forefront of Esports development, not only establishing a dedicated Esport Committee but also playing a key role in the first-ever IOC Olympic Esports Series 2023 in Singapore. As one of just 10 sports selected by the IOC, ISSF introduced a specially designed “ISSF Island” within the Fortnite Championship Series, where 12 of the world’s top players competed in an ISSF-inspired shooting sport challenge.

The Future of Esports and Shooting Sport

ISSF is committed to remaining at the heart of Esport development, working closely with the IOC to help shape the vision for a future “Esport Olympic Games.” By embracing digital sport shooting, we aim to inspire a new generation of fans and create even greater awareness of traditional shooting sport worldwide.
