The NZ Grand Prix 2022 consisted of 6 medal events. It was held 14-20 July 2022 at the PASC Mt Eden Shooting Range and the Tokoroa Shooting Sports Complex.
Local Organising Committee: Michael Johnson
Officials/ Judges: Julie Wills, Nick Dyde, Dave Sheely and Alison Fursdon
New PNZ Shooting Para Sport Lead and multiple Paralympian Michael Johnson made a successful application to World Shooting Para Sport to hold New Zealand’s first ever international competition. Preparations included coordinating the ISSF and WSPS Official Judges to support the Grand Prix, developing the schedule and executing a successful international event. It was held between the PASC Mt Eden Shooting Range and the Tokoroa Shooting Sports Complex.
This was a great opportunity for New Zealand and its Shooting Para sport athletes to hold their own Grand Prix and be able to gain Paralympic and World Championship qualifying scores, without the barriers of long-distance travel.
As well as the first New Zealand Grand Prix, the Shooting Sport programme also runs monthly domestic competitions held at the Auckland Air Rifle & Air Pistol Range.
