About the association

Selkänevan Ampumaurheilukeskus ry is a Finnish association whose name and work are tied to shooting sports.

A group of shooters stands on a stone podium in front of a pine forest, holding gold and silver coloured award plates.

Who we are

We are a Finnish association (ry) bringing together people interested in shooting sports. This website explains who we are, the principles we follow and how to reach us.

Official registry details, a founding year and the exact scope of activities are not yet published here. They will be added once confirmed by the association.

Purpose

The association aims to promote responsible and safe shooting sports and to offer people involved in them a shared meeting point. Its exact purpose and forms of activity are defined in the association's rules, which will be published on the documents page once approved.

Values

The principles below are a proposal for approval by the association's board.
  • Responsibility and respect for the law
  • Safety at every stage
  • Precision, concentration and patience
  • Respect for others and fair play
  • An open, encouraging community
  • Continuous learning

Our approach to shooting sports

Shooting sports reward calm, repetition and care. Safety is not an add-on to the sport but its foundation. We follow Finnish law, guidance from the authorities and the rules of each individual range.

Community

Finnish sports clubs are built on volunteer work and a shared sense of effort — talkoohenki. The photographs on this site come from the association's own activities and tell that story better than words.

History

A history of the association is being prepared. It will only be published once the facts have been checked against the association's own records.
