Introduction
Shooting is the act or
process of discharging
a projectile from a ranged weapon
(such as a gun, bow, crossbow,
slingshot, or blowpipe). Even the
acts of launching flame, artillery,
darts, harpoons, grenades,
rockets, and guided missiles can
be considered acts of shooting.
When using a firearm, the act of
shooting is often called firing as it
involves initiating a combustion of
chemical propellants
Shooting can take place in a
shooting range or in the
field, in shooting sports,
hunting, or in combat. The
person involved in the
shooting activity is called a
shooter. A skilled, accurate
shooter is a marksman or
sharpshooter, and a
person's level of shooting
proficiency is referred to as
their marksmanship.

Shooting has inspired competition, and in

several countries rifle clubs started to form in
the 19th century. Soon international shooting
events evolved, including shooting at the
Summer and Winter Olympics (from 1896) and
World Championships (from 1897). The
International Shooting Sport Federation still
administers Olympic and non-Olympic rifle,
pistol, shotgun, and running target shooting
competitions, although there is also a large
number of national and international shooting
sports controlled by unrelated organizations.
HISTORY OF RIFLE
SHOOTING
The early history of the sport is
largely that of shooting with rifles.
The earliest recorded shooting match
is one held in Eichstäat, Bavaria, in
1477; the shooters, probably using
matchlocks, competed at 200 metres
(220 yards).

A Swiss painting from 1504 shows a

rifle shooting setup that is quite
modern. Contestants fire from
enclosed and covered shooting booths
at targets in the background. Each
target is flanked by a small hut in
which a target marker would be
concealed during shooting and would
later signal by a staff or pole to the
shooter and the judges the value of
the hit. The judges and scorekeepers
are in the right foreground at a table
under a roof. Several wind flags are
flying, and spectators are shown.
Many German museums have
wooden targets dating to 1540
that were made for weddings
and were shot at by the guests
and then given to the host as a
memento. By the 16th century
target shooting with rifled arms
was a popular pastime in much
of Europe, especially in the
Germanic countries.
Elaborately decorated German
wheel locks, presumably
intended for target shooting,
with rifled bores and quite
sophisticated peep or aperture
rear sights, appeared late in
the 16th century.

  Information

 indoor shooting ranges are usually

constructed as standalone structures,
though they may be housed in larger
buildings in isolated areas such as the
basement. The basic components of
most indoor ranges consist of firing
lines/lanes, targets and a bullet
trap/"backstop" (which prevents stray
shots and over penetrations). Design
considerations may vary depending
on planned use but they all must
address the basic requirements for
operating the range safely, and that is
provide ballistic protection, safety
controls, proper ventilation, acoustic
isolation and appropriate lighting
RIFLE CLASSIFICATION IN SPORTS

SH1: uses a rifle or pistol, athletes are able to support their firearm without assistance

SH2: uses a rifle only, athletes support their firearm with the assistance of a shooting stand.

How Does a Rifle Work?

A rifle works similarly to other types of

guns, but its design allows for more
accurate and higher velocity shooting.
Because of a rifle’s long barrel, it’s
designed to be held with the butt of the
gun pressed against the shoulder. It’s
the length of the barrel, as well as
grooves inside the barrel which spin the
bullet, that improve velocity and
accuracy.
How a Rifle Shoots a Bullet

The firing of a bullet from a rifle begins

with a pull of the trigger. Once pulled, the
firing pin snaps forward to strike the
primer at the base of the cartridge case,
which is inserted into the chamber at the
base of the barrel. The cartridge case
(shell) contains a primer charge,
gunpowder and bullet. When the firing pin
strikes the primer, a spark ignites the
gunpowder which rapidly burns, creating
an explosive expansion of gas which
forces the bullet out of the cartridge and
through the barrel at a high velocity.
 The Barrel of a Rifle
What distinguishes a rifle from most
shotguns is the rifling, or spiraled
grooves, within the interior of the rifle
barrel. As the bullet moves through the
barrel, the grooves cause it to rotate.
This spinning introduces other forces
that keep the tip of the bullet pointed at
the target, limiting the wobbling and
tumbling that cause the bullet to stray
off its straight-line path.

Reloading Types
Rifles can either feature a bolt-action,
semi-automatic or automatic reloading
mechanism, depending on its design.
Bolt-action rifles have to be manually
reloaded by the shooter after each shot.
Semi-automatic rifles use the recoil
from the last shot bullet to
automatically feed a bullet into the
firing chamber from a magazine which
contains multiple rounds. A semi-
automatic rifle requires a pull of the
trigger for each shot. An automatic rifle
functions much in the same way, but
can fire multiple rounds in rapid
succession by pulling and holding the
trigger.
The International Shooting Sport
Federation (ISSF) is the governing body
of the Olympic shooting events in rifle,
pistol and shotgun (clay target)
disciplines, and of several non-Olympic
shooting sport events. ISSF's activities
include regulation of the sport, Olympic
qualifications and organization of
international competitions such as the
ISSF World Cup Series, the ISSF World
Cup Finals, the ISSF Separate World
Championship in Shotgun events and the
ISSF World Championship in all events
