International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union

Cut cardboard targets of the same shape and sizes which are used as steel targets in metallic silhouette shooting.

The International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union (IMSSU) is the international organization for metallic silhouette shooting, which was founded in 1992 in response to the fact that rules for metallic silhouette shooting started to diverge around the world.[1]

The European regional body is Association Européenne de Tir sur Silhouettes Métalliques (AETSM),[2] which means European Metallic Silhouette Shooting Association

History

The International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union was founded on 8 October 1992 in Paris, with founding members from Australia, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, Switzerland, the US and the European silhouette federation AETSM.[3] Michel Boulanger was elected as the first president along with Jean-Pierre Beurtheret as the first secretary.

It was established a competition ruleset which could only be revised every fourth year to give stability to the sport.[3] The first IMSSU competition ruleset was largely based on the NRA metallic silhouette competition rules, but since 1997 NRA has published silhouette rules which differ from IMSSU.[4]

Member associations

As of 2020 IMSSU has 26 member regions.[5]
