Optical Target Sports for Seniors

Aiming for Adventure:
If you’re an active outdoor enthusiast aged 50 or over, here’s a chance to try something refreshingly different and seriously fun.
All are invited to take part in a free trial of the Optical Target Sports for Seniors (OTSS) program, a dynamic and engaging experience that blends light physical movement, mental sharpness, and social connection in a format you’ve likely never tried before.
So, what is OTSS?
OTSS is an all-new program that uses the EcoAims Biathlon Rifle, a no-projectile, Olympic-grade optical shooting system that challenges your focus, coordination, and reaction time in a totally safe and supportive environment. It’s inspired by the winter sport of Biathlon but reimagined for everyday Australians aged 50 and up, no snow, no bullets, no pressure just a cracking good time!
Whether you consider yourself fit and active or just looking for a gentle challenge to stay sharp, this program adapts to your individual capabilities. It’s perfect for:
Clubs and community groups
Over 50s lifestyle villages
Retirement and aged care facilities
Solo participants ready for something new
And the best part? It’s completely free, thanks to generous funding from the Queensland Government’s ACTIVE KIT initiative.
Why should you give it a go?
✔ It’s Fun! – Seriously. You’ll laugh, learn, and maybe get a little competitive.
✔ It’s Fitness-Friendly – Light movement and balance work keep you active without overexertion.
✔ It’s Mentally Stimulating – Precision, concentration, and real-time feedback keep the brain sharp.
✔ It’s Social – You’ll meet new people and enjoy the team spirit.
✔ It’s Flexible – Can be run indoors or outdoors, depending on the weather and venue.
You don’t need experience — just a sense of adventure.
Express your interest to fly solo or with a couple of mates by emailing james@queenslandrifle.com.au

👥 Who Can Join? Any Queenslander aged 50+, individually or as part of a group.
Lets go!! It’s time to aim for something new. The OTSS experience will surprise you with just how much fun a fresh challenge can be — and just how good it feels to connect, move, and grow.
