Sri Lanka
The National Rifle Association of Sri Lanka is the controlling body of sport shooting in Sri Lanka. The NRA has under its purview several disciplines of sport shooting including the newly affiliated sport of Metallic Silhouette shooting. The inaugural Big bore and Small bore rifle Metallic Silhouette Shooting National Meet was conducted in 2002 . This meet was an immense success with more than 220 entries in total for both disciplines. Sri Lanka has approximately 300 Silhouette Shooters who are keen in Big bore rifle, Small bore rifle and Small bore pistol shooting. At the moment all disciplines of Metallic Silhouette shooting will be conducted and governed by the NRA of Sri Lanka.
