Extractions: UIT Shooting - Aiming For Athens Home Comment Form The Events Pictures ... About the Author The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), formerly the UIT is the governing body of the International Amateur Shooting Sports at international and world-wide levels of competition, including World Championships and the Olympic Games. USA Shooting is the national governing body for ISSF-style shooting in the United States by authority of the US Olympic Committee and the ISSF. In the Olympics, the shooting sports continue to draw the third-greatest number of countries and impose participation quotas to keep competitors to a manageable number. One of the greatest surges in participation came in 1984, when separate women's events were first added to the Olympic program. The ISSF recognizes a huge number of different shooting events in rifle, pistol, shotgun, and running target though only 17 events are featured in the Olympic Games. While there are great differences between disciplines, all rely on stamina and concentration to successfully shoot so many rounds with such precision. The sport's reliance on such skills makes shooting a sport in which size and age, unlike athletics or gymnastics, have little bearing on success. Oscar Swahn from Sweden was an amazing 72 years old in 1920 when he won his last shooting medal to become the oldest medalist in the history of the Games. The youngest shooter to win a medal was 16 year old Konstantin Lukashik from Belarus, who won a Gold medal in 1992. It is not uncommon for Olympic shooters to have been training for more than 20 years. Due to the competitive longevity of the sport, several shooters have competed in four or more Games.

Extractions: The idea of firing weapons at a target, live or otherwise, dates back to early man, though the gun, of course, was not seen until much later. Records of spear-throwing contests exist among the archives of the ancient Greeks, Indians, Persians, Celts and Germanic and Slavic tribes. In the 10th century archery and spear-throwing had given way to a device developed by the Swiss called the halberd, which combined a spear, an axe and hook in a long mechanism that was held almost like a modern-day gun. By the 14th century, the Germans had developed the halberd concept to create the wheel-lock musket and shooting clubs started to emerge. The musket proper, which used gunpowder to blow out bullets along a tube, evolved from the court of King Charles VIII of France, who wanted flexibility on the battlefield. The more gunpowder, the fiercer the shot, but the musket was a clumsy and inaccurate shot.
