Ampumaliitos

Ampumaliitos, also known as "shooting sports" or "target shooting," are competitive activities that involve the use of firearms to hit targets at various distances and under specific conditions. These activities are popular in many countries and are governed by international organizations such as the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). Ampumaliitos can be categorized into several disciplines, including rifle, pistol, shotgun, and running target shooting.

In rifle shooting, participants use rifles to hit targets at distances ranging from 10 meters to 1,000 meters. Pistol shooting involves the use of handguns, with distances typically ranging from 5 meters to 25 meters. Shotgun shooting, on the other hand, uses shotguns to hit targets at close range, often within 25 meters. Running target shooting combines shooting with running, where participants must chase and shoot moving targets.

Ampumaliitos require a high level of skill, precision, and focus. Competitors must adhere to strict safety protocols and follow the rules set by the governing bodies. The activities are not only about physical prowess but also about mental discipline and strategic planning. Ampumaliitos are practiced at various levels, from recreational shooting to professional competitions, and are enjoyed by individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
