Civilian shooting sports refer to recreational activities where individuals use firearms for competition or practice. These sports can include disciplines such as rifle shooting, pistol shooting, and shotgun sports, often held at designated ranges or events. Participants may compete in various formats, including precision shooting, speed shooting, and clay target shooting. These activities promote skills like marksmanship, focus, and discipline. Many organizations, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) and USA Shooting, provide resources and training for enthusiasts. Safety is a primary concern, with strict guidelines and regulations in place to ensure responsible firearm handling during competitions.
