Up to 12 college rifle and pistol athletes take to the world stage this summer to compete in the 2023 FIFU World University Games! Competing in men's and women's air rifle, air pistol, and .22 events. This American Collegiate team looks forward to testing their skills against other countries.

The World University Games mirrors the Olympic Games in many important aspects, including having similar Athletes Villages, Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and many participating countries from around the globe. China has a depth of experience hosting sporting events, and has chosen one of its largest cities to host these Games. Chengdu, the thriving capital of the Sichuan province, is known for leisure, culture and entertainment, and is most famous for being the home of China's magnificent giant pandas, which can be seen in their natural habitat.

This event was postponed from the Summer 2021 dates due to Covid. As a result, any athlete who would have been eligible then will be eligible now.

This is an extremely unique opportunity for American College Rifle/Pistol athletes to compete against the best athletes in the world. Unfortunately, for this event, every athlete and coach must pay their own way. It will cost each person about $2800 for the trip (housing, food, Chinese Visa, etc.), and an additional $2,500+ for flights. The team is currently fundraising for anything that could help us offset the costs, such as a sponsorship or donation from you!

The Collegiate Rifle and Pistol team would be grateful for any financial support you can provide.
