About Shooting or Target Ranges

From Wikipedia

The shooting sports include those competitive sports involving tests of proficiency (accuracy and speed) using various types of guns such as firearms and airguns (see Archery for more information on shooting sports that make use of bows and arrows). Hunting is also a shooting sport, and indeed shooting live pigeons was an Olympic event (albeit only once, in 1900). The shooting... Read More

About Shooting or Target Ranges (Continued)

...sports are categorized by the type of firearm or target used.

Rifle Shooting Sports

The four Rifle ISSF shooting events (including two Olympic events) consist of long-time target shooting from distances of 10, 50 and 300 m.

The two Running Target ISSF shooting events consist of rapid shooting at a target that moves sideways from distances of 10 and 50 m.

Biathlon is an Olympic sport combining shooting and cross-country skiing.

The CISM Rapid Fire match is a speeded version of the ISSF 300 m Standard Rifle event.

Muzzle loading and Cowboy Action Shooting are concerned with shooting replica (or antique) guns.

Gallery Rifle shooting is popular in the UK and was introduced as a substitute for many pistol shooting disciplines following the 1997 handgun ban.

Benchrest shooting is concerned with shooting small groups, i.e. firing a series of bullets to the exact same spot on a target, with the rifleman sitting on a chair (bench) and the rifle supported from a table.

Fullbore Target shooting is concerned with shooting at targets at ranges of 300 - 1000 yards, i.e. firing a series of bullets to the exact same spot on a target.

There are a vast number of nationally recognized sports, including:

Full bore and small bore, rifle shooting in the United Kingdom.
Three position airgun competitions, popular in the United States.
Field shooting, often at very long distances, popular in Scandinavia.
Running target shooting at 80 m, on a target depicting an elk, popular in Sweden as a hunting exercise.
Summer biathlon, with skiing replaced by running, popular in Germany.

Military Service Rifle is a shooting discipline that involves the use of rifles that are used by military forces and law-enforcement agencies, both past and present use. Ex-military rifles, sniper rifles (both past and present) and civilian versions of current use service rifles are commonly used in the Military Service Rifle shooting competitions. It is popular in the United States and culminates each year with the National Matches being held at Camp Perry, Ohio. Some countries have outlawed civilian shooting at human-silhouette targets, though. Silhouette targets are not used in the National Match Course of Fire. Bullseye targets are used.

Highpower Rifle competition often is held at the same events as Service Rifle, such as the U.S. national championships each year at Camp Perry. Highpower competitors generally are civilians using whatever rifles they prefer within the rules, whereas Service Rifle entrants are limited to current or previous U.S. armed forces weapons.

Shotgun shooting sports

The three Shotgun ISSF shooting events (presently all Olympic) are based on quick reaction to clay targets thrown by a machine.

Other shotgun sports with (at least partial) international recognition include Sporting Clays, providing more variation than the standard ISSF events, and Down-The-Line. Five Stand is also a shotgun shooting sport similar to skeet, but with more target variety. There are five stations, or stands. At each station there is normally a card that lets the shooter know the sequence of birds he or she will be shooting at.

Cowboy Action Shooting also may involve shotguns.

Action shooting sports

Action Shooting is a generic term applicable to non-traditional shooting sports, generally characterized by rapid movement within each shooting stage. Examples include practical pistol (International Practical Shooting Confederation(IPSC)/United States Practical Shooting Association(USPSA) and IDPA), cowboy action shooting, and three-gun events noted below. The latter two involve use of rifles, handguns, and shotguns within the same event.

However, fast, accurate shooting (mainly with handguns) requiring little or no movement also belongs to the Action category owing to the rapidity of firing. Events such as the Bianchi Cup are examples.

3-gun shooting sports

3-gun shooting events (not to be confused with NRA 3-gun "Conventional Pistol" events fired with a rim-fire, center-fire and .45 caliber pistol) are quickly becoming more popular among local shooting clubs. They involve competitions where the stages are shot with a combination of a rifle, handgun, and/or shotgun. Although 3-gun competitions take place in most local areas, the largest national annual events are the USPSA Nationals and the MGM Ironman .
