Shooting has been an Olympic sport since the first modern Games in 1896 and has a history of providing intrigue and drama.
Having been practised competitively for centuries, the tense and demanding sport of Shooting is now popular all over the world.
There were just three shooting events at the inaugural modern Olympics, but this has grown to 15 disciplines, with 390 athletes from more than 100 countries expected to take part in 2012.
Shooting’s venue at the Royal Artillery Barracks will ensure its place close to the centre of the action in London.
Any British medal is most likely to come in the men’s double trap: Richard Faulds is a former Olympic champion, while recent world number one and world record holder Peter Wilson is coached by Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum, the 2004 Olympic gold medallist.
Pistol shooter Tomoyuki Matsuda of Japan is a double world champion who ran for his life to escape the 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Leading the Chinese charge will be double Olympic rifle champion Du Li, who returned in 2011 after a two-and-a-half year absence.
.
With the exceptions of the St Louis 1904 and Amsterdam 1928 Games, Shooting has featured on every Olympic programme since the first modern Games in 1896.
Women’s events were added to the schedule at Los Angeles 1984.
.
Olympic Shooting events fall into three disciplines: Rifle, Pistol, and Shotgun events.
In Rifle and Pistol events, competitors aim at a 10-ring target from a set distance (10m, 25m or 50m).
Depending on the event, athletes are required to shoot from standing, kneeling or prone (lying down) positions.
In Shotgun events, competitors shoot at moving clay targets launched above and in front of them.
.
Every medal event from the Olympic Shooting will be screened live on one of the 24 dedicated BBC Olympics channels.
