Shooting at the Olympics
In shooting there are three disciplines: carbine and pistol, in which athletes shoot at fixed targets in a shooting range, and shotgun, which involves shooting at moving targets.
With the exception of the 1904 St. Louis and 1928 Amsterdam Games, shooting has featured in every Olympic program since the first modern Games in 1896. Women’s events were added to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic program.
Shotgun shooting is the art of shooting at a flying target commonly known as skeet shooting. There are two varieties: fossa (trap), where targets are launched at great distances from a single pit; and clay pigeon shootingskeet), in which targets are launched from pits on the left and right.
