Shooting is amongst the original nine disciplines of Athens 1896 and since then with the only exceptions of St Louis 1904 and Amsterdam 1928, it has always been featured at the Summer Olympics. The sport, governed by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), consists of aiming at a target with a man-portable gun. Three weapons are featured in the Olympics: rifle, pistol, and shotgun, for a total of fifteen different events, each one defined by a specific set of rules. The first two are indoor disciplines and involve shooting at stationary targets, while the third one is performed outdoors, and targets are thrown in the air.
