FITASC Sporting (FSP)
Welcome to the FITASC Sporting Team page. Everything you need to know about representing England in this discipline can be found here.
FSP is governed internationally by FITASC (which stands for the Fédération Internationale de Tir aux Armes Sportives de Chasse [Translation: International Federation for Shooting Sporting Guns].
FITASC Sporting (FSP) is like English Sporting (ESP), but there are key differences.
FSP targets are shot ‘gun down’, meaning that the gun cannot be mounted on the shoulder until the targets are thrown and visible.
