Shooting Makes New Appointment

Liz Woodall has been appointed as the British Shooting Disability Shooting Coordinator.

Liz's role will involve initiating, encouraging and facilitating development of areas of the sport that will be of particular benefit to disabled shooters.

Promotion of target-shooting as a particularly disabled-friendly sport will be high on the agenda as will setting up a network of organisations whose members may be able to benefit from the work of the DSP.

Liz first picked up a target rifle at the age of 14 and since then her involvement in the sport has ranged through smallbore rifle, air rifle, full-bore, service rifle and lots more.

For more than 10 years Liz has been contributing 'Legal Briefing' articles, DSP supplements and other material to the NSRA's magazine The Rifleman.

From 2005 to 2010 she was working in the Membership Department of the NSRA, which is where the DSP was conceived and born.

The Disabled Shooting Year will be a major promotion exercise to raise national awareness of target shooting as an ideal sport for disabled people.

It is hoped that improved communications mean greater exchange of information which will provide a service to help disabled shooters.
