What is Sport Shooting?
Sport shooting spans rifle (10 m, 50 m), pistol (10 m, 25 m) and shotgun (trap, skeet) events on ISSF ranges, plus civilian formats such as IPSC practical shooting. Olympic events reward technical stability and repeatability, with tie-breakers scored to the tenth of a point.
