Shooting
Overview
- Athletes shoot a rifle or pistol at a target and compete based on accuracy.
- A fixed target is used, with higher points given to shots closer to the centre.
- Events are categorised by distance to target, type of shooting equipment used, and posture assumed.
Features as deaf sport
Same international regulations as hearing sport are applied to deaf sport.
The difference lies in how athletes are informed of when to start and stop. Since this cannot be done by sound, athletes are kept informed using a monitor and other such means to satisfy the need to be visually signalled.
At the TOKYO 2025 DEAFLYMPICS, we consider ways to ensure athlete to be concentrated on competition.
