Are you aware that this association came into life a few years ago? It may be useful for US clubs and events, and to promote our sport - particularly with regard to competition rules.
It is essentially a legal structure under Chinese administration, given the fact that slingshot shooting is technically a national sport there, and that they doubtlessly provide the funding too.
The fact that this association has its legal foundations in the town of Zug, Switzerland, is probably because of the very low taxes that apply in canton Zug.
For those interested in legal aspects concerning associations based in Switzerland,
read articles 60 to 79 in the Swiss civil law code
between pages 21 - 26 here:
