The Olympics have three specific categories for gun shooting events. Three different gun types are used in Olympic shooting: shotgun, pistol, and rifle. These form the three main disciplines of gun shooting sports in the Olympics. During rifle and pistol shooting events, the athletes shoot at stationary targets in indoor shooting ranges. Shotgun events on the other hand are conducted outside where targets are thrown in the air and shooters must shoot their way to victory. A bullseye on a paper target or flying “clays” in the shotgun is done from a set and precise distance of 10 m, 25 m, or 50 m in the shotgun events.
