Overview

Three types of guns are used at the Olympic Games. In rifle and pistol events, competitors have to hit a 10-ring target from a distance of 10, 25 or 50 metres. Depending on the event, competitors need to shoot while standing up, on their knees or lying down. In shotgun events, participants shoot at mobile targets, launched upwards and to the front.
