When Target Inc. was first founded in 1975, it began as a representative of some European companies manufacturing air rifles and air pistols, since the founder of the company had been a shooting enthusiast for many years and had been a part of the Turkish National Shooting Team 18 times. Over the past 30 years, the List of Shooting Industry Companies Represented by Target Inc. has grown steadily to include some of the finest companies that manufacture the best products in the world for the sport of shooting. Needless-to-say, Target Inc.'s Areas of Expertise in the sport of shooting cover almost every category with a long list of references which is growing daily.

In the 70s, air rifles and air pistols were regulated under the same laws as firearms. Through its efforts more than twenty five years ago, Target Inc. was instrumental in passing a new legislation through the Turkish Parliament, that allowed air guns to be regulated separately from firearms, whereby the import of such air rifles and pistols was no longer restricted.

Aware of the limitations of training with firearms, Target Inc. used this newly enacted legislation to spread the use of air rifles and pistols throughout the Turkish Armed Forces and the Police Forces. By using air rifles and pistols, officers have been able to train much more cost effectively and are not hampered by the limited number of suitable locations for firearms training or by the gun permit restrictions of the government.

Target Inc. also prides itself in closely following the advancements in technology in the shooting industry and has an extensive line of laser training systems for all levels of shooter expertise, from novice to experts.

Thanks to its commitment to the sport of shooting over the past quarter of a century, Target Inc. has always been the preferred supplier of rifles, pistols, ammunition as well as simulation and training systems, shooting accessories and services in Turkey. Another reason for the popularity of Target Inc. among shooters in Turkey, has been Target Inc.'s pistol and rifle repair and maintenance center which specifically serves all members of the Turkish Armed Forces and the Police Forces.

For thousands of shooting enthusiasts in Turkey, the name Target has become synonymous with the sport of shooting within the Turkish Armed Forces and the Police Forces.
