International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union

The International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union (IMSSU) is the international organization for metallic silhouette shooting, which was founded in 1992 in response to the fact that rules for metallic silhouette shooting started to diverge around the world.[1]

Cut cardboard targets of the same shape and sizes which are used as steel targets in metallic silhouette shooting.

The European regional body is Association Européenne de Tir sur Silhouettes Métalliques (AETSM),[2] which means European Metallic Silhouette Shooting Association

The first IMSSU competition ruleset was largely based on the NRA metallic silhouette competition rules, but since 1997 NRA has published silhouette rules which differ from IMSSU.[3]
