Fins
Underwater target shooting

Underwater target shooting fins, or UWR fins, are crucial for excelling in this dynamic sport that features precision and speed events. In precision shooting, where control, apnea management, and stabilization are key, long and flexible fins are preferred to minimize energy use and help maintain a steady heart rate

Conversely, for biathlon events, which combine shooting with timed apnea, shorter, more manageable fins or longer, stiffer fins offer better maneuverability. The choice of fin should also consider personal size and muscle strength.

Additionally, a well-fitting footpocket is essential for optimal energy transfer from the leg to the blade, ensuring maximum performance. Underwater target shooting, a sport that originated in the 1980s, now includes precision, biathlon, and relay events, each requiring specific equipment and skills.
