Shooting: Everything you need to know!

THE shooting is a sport that has its roots deep in prehistoric times and since 1896 has entered the program of Olympic races.

It was also included in the program of the Paralympic Games in 1980 in Arnhem and is governed by similar regulations to those of Olympic Shooting. Some adjustments have been made to some venues in the sport to facilitate disabled shooters.

In the Paralympic Games, the goals are electronic, with the ability to directly view the score on a screen, which the spectators also watch, so that they can be informed about the progress of the race.

Shooting is a technical sport, with great popularity worldwide. It requires good technical training as well as the ability for a high degree of self-concentration. Men and women of any age can play sports, not only at the recreational level, but also at the championship level.
Shooting events differ in distance, type of target, weapon, shooter's stance, number of shots and the time within which the shooter must fire his shots.
