The Association of Maltese Arms Collectors & Shooters (AMACS) said today it was proud to announce that the Malta Environment and Planning Authority has approved its application to set up an Olympic standard air pistol and air rifle shooting range within part of its facilities located in Tigne' Point.

The range is planned to be amongst the most advanced on the island, with all modern facilities including electronic scoring systems. This positive development shall help the association achieve its aims to promote the highest standards in sports shooting in Malta.

Maltese sports shooters have won the highest honours and medals for individual sports in international competitions, and the potential to extend this positive trend is supported by this new sports facility.

AMACS joins other sports shooting organisations in expressing their support for a National Shooting Range project that will accommodate all sport shooting disciplines.
