The first competition of the season will kick off on March 1st in Guadalajara, opening the 2018 shooting sport season and delivering the first 15 gold medals of the season in the three disciplines.

The wait is over: the 2018 ISSF Season is about to start. Everything is set in Guadalajara (MEX) for the first stage of the 2018 ISSF World Cup Series, which will take place from the 1st to the 12th of March.

 

The competition will see 404 shooters compete in the three disciplines – Rifle, Pistol and Shotgun – representing 50 National Olympic Committees and piling up 594 starts. Events will be contested in two separate venues: the airgun events at the CODE Paradero; while the 25m, 50m and shotgun events at the Club Cinegetico Jalisciense.
