Sport shooting is a competitive activity that involves using firearms, such as rifles, pistols, and shotguns, to hit targets. Participants aim for accuracy and precision, often competing in various disciplines that test their skills in different shooting scenarios. Events can take place at indoor or outdoor ranges, and they may include timed challenges or precision shooting at stationary or moving targets.
There are several governing bodies for sport shooting, including the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) and the National Rifle Association (NRA). These organizations set rules and standards for competitions, ensuring safety and fairness. Sport shooting is also featured in the Olympic Games, showcasing the sport on an international stage.
