Sports regulations

In the shooting range guidelines and the shooting range regulations of the DSB, the equipment of the shooting range and the behavior when practicing the sport are binding. The sports regulations are deposited with the Federal Office of Administration and were last approved on August 16, 2018.

Bundesliga

The Bundesliga is the highest German class in archery, air pistol and air rifle. The competitions are held from October to February; the winner of the Bundesliga is also the German team champion in these disciplines. After the preliminary fights in the groups north and south, the best four teams in a group qualify for the finals, in which they then fight in a knockout system up to the championship.

Awards

The association introduced a remarkable novelty in the 15th air rifle Bundesliga season 2011/2012: Since then, men, women, national and international athletes and physically disabled athletes (wheelchair users) have been competing in the top division of an Olympic sports association in Germany. This decision was preceded by a resolution by the entire DSB board in October 2010, which cleared the way for a special premiere in German sport. Disabled athletes in starting class SH 1 - athletes with functional impairments, but with full arm function - received unrestricted entry authorization for the league system of the German Shooting Federation.

The decision to promote the inclusion of disabled athletes was based on a scientific report by Professor Gert-Peter Brüggemann from the Institute for Biomechanics and Orthopedics at the German Sport University Cologne. The expert opinion came to the conclusion that because of their sitting position, wheelchair users have no advantages in the static sport of standing shooting compared to non-disabled athletes. For this exemplary pioneering role in the inclusion of athletes with disabilities, the German Olympic Society awarded the German Shooting Federation on April 27, 2013 as part of the German Shooting Day in Potsdam with the Fair Play Medal of the German Olympic Society. The fair play badge of the German Olympic Society distinguishes exceptionally fair gestures that go beyond compliance with the competition regulations and sporting rules.
