The International Clay Target Shooting Federation (ICTSF) is a prestigious sports club located in Wagga Wagga, Australia. As the World Governing body for World Championships in the shotgun sports of Down The Line (DTL) and English Sporting (ESP), the club has a rich history and is at the forefront of international clay target shooting.
Formed in 2008, the ICTSF currently administers the rules for World Championships in these two disciplines. World Championships are conducted in alternate years, with the ESP in odd years and the DTL in even years. Additionally, events alternate between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, ensuring a fair and equal opportunity for all countries involved.
The main goal of the ICTSF is to provide countries competing in these events the opportunity to have a say in the conduct and operation of the Championships. Events are usually conducted using the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association (CPSA) Rules, with some minor changes. This guarantees a standardised and fair competition for all participants.
Over the years, the ICTSF has successfully organised events in various countries, including England, Wales, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and Canada. This global reach showcases the club's dedication to promoting and advancing clay target shooting on an international scale.
As a member of the ICTSF, athletes have the chance to compete on the world stage, showcasing their skills and representing their country. The club also holds regular training sessions and workshops to help shooters improve their technique and enhance their overall performance.
In addition to its competitive aspect, the ICTSF also fosters a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship among its members. Shooters from different countries come together, forming lifelong friendships and connexions within the clay target shooting community.
