General Secretary of the Vietnam Shooting Federation (VSF) Nguyen Thi Nhung said the annual shooting event is designed to scout and select excellent shooters for the national team in the time to come.

More than 130 athletes of 10 teams across the country are competing at the event.

In addition, it provides a chance for the VSF to assess training quality of coaches, she noted.

At the competition, marksmen will take part in 14 events of the tournament and their female counterparts, 10 events.

The tournament runs until July 28.
