Regional tournaments of various levels, world and European championships are held annually. There are currently 15 men's and 9 women's events scheduled in the International Shooting Sport Federation. These events were included in the program of international competitions. The Olympic programs include 6 male and 4 female types of these events.

Rifle

Rifles, used for shooting, are divided into several types: pneumatic (caliber 4.5mm), small-caliber (caliber 5.6mm) and large-caliber (caliber from 6.5mm to 7.62mm). All types of rifles must be single-shot (except for large-caliber rifles, which may have a magazine). Distance to the target from 10 m to 300 m.

Pistol

Pistols, used for shooting, are divided into pneumatic, small-caliber and large-caliber. Gas, single-shot or air pneumatic pistols of 4.5 mm caliber are allowed for shooting. Bullets for pneumatic pistols must be made of lead or a soft material.

Shooting at a moving target is carried out from a single-shot rifle. In shooting at 50 m, a small-caliber rifle (caliber 5.6 mm) is used. In 10m shooting, an air rifle (4.5mm) is used. It is allowed to use optics here.

At the 50m distance, the "Running Boar" target is used. There is an image of a wild boar in the middle of the body of the target.

In 10m shooting, paper or electronic targets are used.
