Administration

The WFTF is managed by a president elected by nomination and majority vote from representatives of each National Governing Body (NGB) who serves for a period of three years.

Management of the world championship is the responsibility of the chairman of the hosting countries NGB and will act as Vice-President of the federation until the end of the hosted championship.

World Championships

=Categories=

Field target is contested on an open competition basis, with all competitors eligible to win the overall championship in their class. There are two classes of shooting:

Precharged (for competitors using PCP air rifles)
Spring (for those using Spring-piston air rifles)

Each class offers the following placings:

World Champion and 2nd to 10th
1st Lady
1st Veteran
1st Junior
1st to 3rd Teams

=Host country=

The location of the championships is based on rotation between the 43 member countries of the WFTF, a country via its NGB has the opportunity to decline hosting of the event in which case the opportunity to host passes onto the next member country in sequence.{{cite web|title=World Field Target Federation Constitution|url=http://www.world-field-target-federation.com/constitution|website=www.world-field-target-federation.com|access-date=20 August 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140821140747/http://www.world-field-target-federation.com/constitution|archive-date=21 August 2014|url-status=dead}}
