All silhouette shooting, whether using centerfire, small bore, air rifle or muzzleloader, is fired from an off-hand position. Accessories such as adjustable or hooked butt plates, palm rests, shooting coats or slings are not allowed. Position shooting, as the name indicates, requires competitors to shoot from various positions during different match stages.
Two governing bodies regulate this sport. International Shooting Sports Federation ISSF , the governing body for international and Olympic competition, specifies three positions: standing off hand , kneeling, and prone lying down. A typical match will consist of several stages fired at different distances from each position. The target is a round bullseye with numerical scoring rings radiating outwards from center ring or X-ring. Firearms : Both rimfire and centerfire rifles are used in position events.
Smallbore shooters engage targets at ranges from 50 feet to yards, while high-power shooters shoot targets at ranges up to 1, yards. Air rifle events have become popular in recent years, with targets set at 10 meters 33 feet.
Time limits vary with the stage and yardage. For example, high-power shooters firing at yards are allotted 20 minutes for 20 shots, while the rapid-fire stage, fired at yards, allows 60 seconds for 10 shots.

Action pistol shooting is a game measuring the speed at which a competitor can hit one or more targets, starting from a position in which the handgun is securely holstered.
The targets may be paper targets with scoring rings, metal plates that fall when hit, or even bowling pins that must be completely swept from a tabletop. Targets may be stationary or moving. Action courses vary, often including both scored targets and falling targets within the same match. Match directors constantly endeavor to come up with new and more challenging courses of fire, and as a result, there is no "typical" action course.
Firearms : For the most part, action pistol events are dominated by semi-auto centerfire handguns. This is due to their speed of fire and ease of reloading. The most popular caliber choices are 9mm, 45 ACP and the 10mms. Although semi-autos are often preferred, revolvers see their share of use. Silhouette shooting is a shooting gallery on a grand scale. Scoring is simple: topple a target from its stand and it's a hit, anything else is a miss. The targets, metal silhouettes of chickens, pigs, turkeys and sheep, are placed at ranges varying from 10 yards to meters.
Targets are arranged in rows of five. In a conventional centerfire handgun match, chickens will be at 50 meters, pigs at , turkeys at and the sheep at meters. Matches may consist of 40, 60, 80 or scoring shots. Reduced sized silhouettes at shorter ranges allow shooters to fire the course with.
There are two governing bodies for metallic silhouette handgunning in the U. There is also a rulebook available for download. Of all the shooting disciplines, few require the intense level of concentration that is the hallmark of precision pistol shooting. In this demanding sport, shooters are permitted to use only one hand while engaging targets at ranges varying from 10 meters to 50 meters. Possibly because of this challenge, precision pistol shooting ranks as one of the most popular recreational uses of the handgun today.
The latter organization provides the courses of fire used in the Olympic Games. All courses of fire are shot on paper targets printed with circular scoring rings that range in value from 10 points to one point. An individual match consists of 30 or 60 rounds, with the accumulated point value determining the competitor score. Shooting sports have been part of the Olympics since the modern Olympic Games began in That year, in Athens, shooters competed in two rifle and three pistol events.
By , in Sydney, shooting sports had grown to include 17 events in four Olympic disciplines: rifle, pistol, running target, and shotgun. Participation has grown, too. While only four nations competed in the shooting events in , shooters from different nations participated at the Atlanta games. In order for a shooter to compete in the Olympics, they must shoot a minimum qualification score for their respective event at one of the International Shooting Sports Foundation's supervised championships.
These events are held during the four years between Olympiads. Women have been allowed to compete in Olympic shooting since , but women competed with and against men through Beginning at the Games, women-only competitions were held in three events, but Olympic trap and skeet remained mixed until At the Games, trap and skeet events were conducted for men only. However, a new event-double trap-was added in that allowed men and women to compete together.
In addition, USA Shooting manages development programs and sanctions events at local, state, regional, and national levels, including the national shooting championships.
