_Olympic Shooting
_Shooting is the act or process of firing rifles, shotguns or other projectile weapons such as bows or crossbows. Shooting can take place in a shooting range or in the field in hunting, in shooting sports or in combat. Shooting is carried out using various types of guns such as firearms and airguns. Shooting practices are categorized by the type of firearm or target used.
Olympic Shooting has been contested at every Summer Olympic Games since the birth of the modern Olympic movement at the 1896 Summer Olympics. Only exceptions are at the 1904 and 1928 editions. In the 1896 Summer Games, there were only three shooting events but as time passed by the popularity increased and now the number of events under the shooting category are 17. The sport of shooting can be divided into four categories. The four disciplines of the shooting are rifle, shotgun, running-target and pistol events by men and women.
