KNSA targets
The KNSA is to Dutch shooting what the KNVB is to football: the national body for about 650 clubs, schutterijen and gilden. A Dutch club may co-sign a member’s firearm licence only after at least 18 signed-off shooting sessions in a year, and under-18s may own an air gun only after three months’ membership.
Smallbore rifle is shot indoors at 12 m, where the ten is a tiny white dot that counts only when it is shot away completely. New members start in the lowest class of their category, and skill crosses are earned only at sanctioned matches with a KNSA official watching — one per event a year.
