    Extractions: Shooting is one of the most technically skilled of all the events at the Games. It's split into three different disciplines; shotgun, rifle and pistol. Shotgun events involve competitors firing at moving targets, called clay pigeons, while rifle and pistol see shooters aiming at targets between 10m and 50m away. In the six shotgun events the clay pigeons are fired into the air when the shooter asks for them, and the one who hits the most is the winner. There are three different ways for the clay pigeons to be released in the shotgun events. In the rifle events shooters hope to hit tiny bullseyes in targets a long way from them.

    Extractions: Shooting is the act of causing a gun to fire at a target. Shooting also describes sports events where people test their accuracy by firing firearms at artificial, especially designed targets. There are several types of shooting events using different firearms shooting different types of targets (some moving, some static) over different distances. The shooting sports may be usefully broken down by type of gun. For the pistol, there are various Olympic-style sports (?) and two major organizations for what is known as practical shooting IPSC and IDPA . For the rifle, there are several benchrest or hunter marksmanship competitions. For the shotgun, there are a variety of clay target sports. edit Precision marksmanship in shooting competition (unlike in combat) can be achieved by proper execution of the seven step checklist in shooting: Close your eyes and raise the gun naturally without thinking, open your eyes to see where your natural arm position points to. Move your feet along with your body to align the arm with the target. That is the best stance compared to pointing straight forward. Your body is less likely to move in this natural position when the trigger is pulled. Feet should be slightly apart. The shooting arm extended with straight elbow. Proper stance for two hand shooting can be achieved in similar way, though the natural stance will definitely be different.

    Extractions: The founder of the Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, was a very good shooter and that was (maybe) the greatest reason why shooting already a part of the Olympics in 1896 was. In the years that shooting was at the Olympic program, were the parts of shooting many times changed. In 1920 were there 21 parts and in 1932 only 2. In 1928 was shooting not a part of the Olympics, but since 1952 is it a standardization.

    Extractions: Shooting Sports have been part of the Olympic Games since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896. In Athens, Greece during the first Olympic Games shooters competed in two bigbore rifle and three pistol events. Seventeen Olympic events in four Olympic disciplines (rifle, pistol, running target, and shotgun) will be contested at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Women have been allowed to compete since 1972, participating with men until 1980. At the 1984 Games, they took part in a separate program consisting of three events, but they kept the right to compete with the men in the two mixed events - Olympic trap and skeet until 1992. At the 1996 Games those trap and skeet events were conducted for men only. However, a new event - double trap - was added in 1996 that allowed men and women to compete together.

    http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05198/538803.stm
    
    Extractions: You may have noted that baseball and softball have gotten themselves thrown out of the Olympics beginning in 2012, which is good, but the International Olympic Committee, with its customary smug restraint, stopped at only two ejections. Too bad. Here are five more "sports" that are way more erasable and should have gotten a similar defenestration: water polo, shooting, synchronized swimming, fencing and badminton. Maybe if the Olympics started lopping off seven sports at a time, we could eventually get to a place where the Olympics are close enough to killing themselves to spark a reasonable discussion about whether that would be a bad thing. Though nothing formal was forthcoming in the way of reasoning from the IOC on the baseball-softball killing, committee members said publicly that baseball in particular had a credibility problem due to steroid use. That's very close to comical.
