The French Shooting Federation (FFTir) was created in 1967 as the result of a merger between several peer associations within the Union des Sociétés de Tir de France. An association governed by the Law of 1901 and recognized as being of public interest since 1971, the French Shooting Federation acts on behalf of the Ministry of Sport and is responsible for the promotion and development of 12 sporting disciplines in France.
Presided by Michel Baczyk, it has 255,600 members. Shooting has been on the Olympic Programme since the first Games of the modern era in 1896, and will also be on the Programme for Paris 2024, with 15 Olympic and 13 Paralympic events (pistol, rifle and target).
The Olympic Torch Relay is a fantastic opportunity to highlight the Olympic values such as respect, commitment, team spirit and fraternity, values shared by the French Shooting Federation, promoted by our Shooting Schools and reinforced within our clubs.
