ISSF President is attending the opening ceremony on Tuesday, 20 October, as a guest, taking the opportunity to meet members of the shooting sport community and engage with athletes and officials participating in the championship.
His presence reflects the ISSF’s connection with the wider international shooting sport community, including competitions organised within the military sport system. The championship brings together military personnel from CISM member nations for several days of competition in Trap and Skeet.
A significant occasion for Italian shooting sport
The championship is being held at the Italian Air Force Military Airport of Cameri, near Novara, at a venue with a long history in the development of shooting sport. The invitation documents highlight the range’s origins in 1933 and its place in the history of Italian military aviation.
This year’s event also coincides with the centenary of the Italian Shooting Federation (FITAV), which is supporting the organisation of the championship alongside the Italian military authorities and the International Military Sports Council (CISM).
The programme includes individual Trap and Skeet competitions on 21 and 22 October, followed by the mixed-team events on 23 October. The championship will conclude with the award and closing ceremony on Friday, 23 October, before delegations depart the following day.
