The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) and International Paralympic Committee (IPC) have confirmed the date and schedule for the first series of Town Hall sessions dedicated to the planned transfer of shooting Para sport governance from the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to the ISSF.
The Town Hall sessions represent an important step in the transition process, offering a platform for dialogue, clarity and shared understanding across the global shooting sport community.
The online sessions will take place on Wednesday, 13 May 2026, providing Member Federations with an opportunity to receive further information and engage directly with ISSF representatives on this important development.
To ensure broad participation across all regions, three sessions will be organised to accommodate different time zones:

Supporting a smooth transfer
The Town Hall sessions are designed as open and practical discussions, encouraging participation from Member Federations — particularly those involved in shooting Para sport, including athletes, coaches, classifiers, officials and event organisers.
Key topics to be addressed include:
• The ISSF vision for shooting Para sport
• The transfer and integration process
• Practical impacts for Member Federations
• Athlete pathways and competition opportunities
• Governance, classification and technical aspects
Federations are also invited to submit questions in advance to ISSF Headquarters to help guide the discussions. Submit questions in advance through the ISSF email: office@issf-sports.org.
With this initiative, the ISSF reinforces its commitment to transparency and collaboration, ensuring that Member Federations are actively involved in shaping the future of shooting Para sport.
