What is Shooting?

Shooting is a precision-based Olympic sport that tests concentration, control, and accuracy. Athletes compete using rifles, pistols, or shotguns in events that demand steady aim, calm under pressure, and technical mastery. Beyond physical skill, shooting requires mental discipline, making it a unique blend of sport and focus.

History in the Olympics

Shooting has been part of the modern Olympic Games since 1896, appearing in nearly every edition. Women’s events were introduced in 1984, and today, men and women compete across a wide range of disciplines.

Types of Events

  • Rifle: 10m air rifle, 50m rifle 3 positions.
  • Pistol: 10m air pistol, 25m pistol.
  • Shotgun: Trap, skeet, and mixed team events.

    • Shooting at Empower Sports Academy

    At Empower, shooting will be offered as a sport that develops focus, patience, and discipline. While not as physically demanding as some other sports, it builds exceptional mental resilience, breathing control, and fine motor skills. Girls will be trained to compete in Olympic-recognized events while also learning the values of responsibility and safety.

    Empower Facilities

    Our campus will feature:
  • An Olympic-standard indoor shooting range for air rifle and air pistol training
  • Outdoor training areas for shotgun events such as skeet and trap
  • State-of-the-art safety systems and professional coaching standards

    • Pathway to University & Beyond

    Shooting is recognized by the NCAA and collegiate clubs in the United States, offering opportunities for athletes to pursue higher education alongside competition. Top universities such as West Virginia University, Kentucky, and Ole Miss have strong shooting programs. Internationally, shooting provides a pathway to represent Pakistan in global competitions, including the Asian Games, World Championships, and the Olympics.
