The international moving target shooting sport community is set to gather in Tallinn, Estonia, for the ISSF World Championship Moving Target Tallinn 2026, taking place from 20 to 26 July.

Hosted at the Männiku Shooting Range, the championship will welcome 81 athletes representing 16 Member Federations across 16 countries, with a total of 307 competition starts scheduled throughout the week. Official arrivals and unofficial training begin on 20 July, followed by pre-event training and the Technical Meeting on 21 July, before the first competitions get underway later that day.

 

Competition opens on 21 July with the 10m Moving Target Mixed events for Men, Women, Men Junior and Women Junior. Athletes will compete across Stage 1 and Stage 2, with the Individual and Team medals awarded at the conclusion of the day's competition,  where the first Individual world titles might be awarded.

 

The focus then shifts to the 10m Moving Target events on 22 July, where athletes contest the Slow Run and Fast Run stages. Team medals will be decided that evening, while the Individual competitions continue into the Medal Matches on 23 July. The day will also feature the 10m Moving Target Mixed Team and Mixed Team Junior competitions, with their medal matches concluding the 10m programme.

 

On 24 July, competition moves to the 50m Moving Target disciplines, with athletes competing in the Slow Run and Fast Run stages. Individual and Team medals will be awarded at the end of the day's competition. The championship concludes on 25 July with the 50m Moving Target Mixed events, contested across Stage 1 and Stage 2, where the final Individual and Team world titles will be decided before official departures on 26 July.

 

Official ISSF World Championship medals and World Records will be contested in 17 events, including the complete senior Men's programme across both 10m and 50m disciplines, the Women's 10m individual events, the Men's and Women's Junior individual events, and the 10m Moving Target Mixed Team event.

 

Moving Target remains one of the most distinctive disciplines within international shooting sport, combining exceptional precision, concentration and timing as athletes track moving targets at both 10m and 50m distances. Throughout the week, the Männiku Shooting Range will provide the stage for athletes to compete for world titles and the opportunity to write their names into the ISSF record books.
