    You're a bit south of Fermoy Rifle Club so - there's a lad there doing ISSF shooting who's done a lot of ISSF air rifle, which is the same kit and targets as the tetrathlon rifle stuff; and there's also a chap doing ISSF air pistol, which is the same kit and targets as the tetrathlon pistol stuff.

    No, the IPC and others have had people shooting younger than yourself. It's owning the firearms that's not legal at that age.

    Am I the only one who doesn't get anything remotely close to Fermoy Rifle Club from that link?

    I'd suggest to the OP that he/she contact Kieran Barry through the NASRPC website.
