Fédération Internationale de Tir aux Armes Sportives de Chasse


Fédération Internationale de Tir aux Armes Sportives de Chasse is an international sport federation of  sport shooting, specifically Clay pigeon shooting similar to sporting clays, trap and skeet.

Rules

It involves strategically placed clay target throwers set to simulate live game birds/animals- teal, rabbits, pheasant etc. Shooters on each layout or "parcour", shoot in turn at various combinations of single and double clay birds. Each station or "peg" on a parcour will have a menu card that lets the shooter know the sequence of clay birds he or she will be shooting at. The shooters will be presented with 4 or 5 two-shot singles which they will rotate through and then two pair. In Old Style FITASC there are three pegs on each parcour, with 25 shots to a parcour.
Typical targets are a rabbit, chandelle, overhead, trap, crossing, teal, and an incoming bird. The targets are shot as singles and as doubles. All single targets may be attempted with two shots and are counted as killed with either shot, two shots may also be used to attempt doubles and either target or both may be shot with only those two shots. In other words, a shooter may attempt the first target in a double and upon missing, may continue to shoot that same target for score if broken even though the second target will be lost due to being missed in the double.

Disciplines

There are six disciplines under the FITASC rule.
In 2019, with the edition held from 31 May to 2 June in Maribor in Slovenia, the European Championships of Universal Trench, organized by FITASC, reached the 47th edition.
FITASC organized also World and European Championships of helice shooting.
