FITASC Sporting (FSP) 2025
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.

HOME INTERNATIONAL SELECTION PROCESS
Below is the process used to decide selection for the FITASC (FSP) Team for Home International Team matches only (under the jurisdiction of the ICTSC).
There are 4 selection shoots that run between March and August 2025.
Scores are submitted after the last selection shoot with the best 3 from 4 scores to count.
Points are calculated from High Gun of each day and shooters with the lowest points go through to represent England. Please note High Gun will be taken from each day.
The team will be selected on a points system (taken from the highest score for each event). In the event of a tie for last place(s) the points from the last selection shoot will be used to determine the place. Should a tie still exist the highest aggregate score will determine the place.
Scores to be submitted to CPSA HQ by MIDNIGHT on Monday 5th August 2025.
