Shooting

by Elizabeth

Shooting  has been in the olympics since 1932. The competition has changed over the years because guns have changed  

Shooting events are in four different groups

1 Shotgun (trap) - people shoot at clay targets flying in different directions

2  Rifle - people shoot at targets 10m , 25m and 50m away

3  Pistol - same as rifle using a different gun

4  Running targets - people shoot at  a moving target as it crosses a 2m opening 10m away.
