Europeans must be able to do own and shoot Olympic type target pistols and rifles, I suppose? When I watch those matches, I see plenty of French, German, other European competitors and the guns are all of European make. Come to think of it, events like biathlon are heavily European too.
Thinking of living in France at least part time, will be interesting to find out if there are target shooting clubs one can join.
