RIAC is an annual international airgun shooting competition that has been hosted by the
circuit.History
RIAC is one of a number of unsanctioned "B" competitions including
RIAC was a founding member of AirOShoot in 2019.[3] AirOShoot is an invitational competition in which the top finalists from a number of "B" airgun competitions across Europe (including RIAC) qualify for an annual "Super Final" at the end of each AirOShoot cycle. Athletes also earn points, which form a ranking.[4]
Due to its timing in December, RIAC only missed one year (2020) due to COVID-19, and was able to resume at the end of 2021.[5][6]
Programme
RIAC includes matches for ISSF
RIAC takes place over four days, with the first day given to arrival and free training. On the other three days, each athlete fires a standard ISSF match every day, with an Olympic Final for the top 8.[7] Unlike most international competitions, where one match is contested per discipline, the match-per-day format provides athletes with a lot of competition relative to their travel expense, making it popular with NGBs as a competition for development athletes to build match experience.
- Day 1 ("RIAC 1") - Individual matches, with scores counting for concurrent team competitions.
- Day 2 ("RIAC 2") - Individual matches.
- Day 3 ("IBIS Cup") - Individual matches, but the winners in each class are awarded the IBIS Cup.
