Ammuntaurheilua, or shooting sports, encompasses a wide range of competitive disciplines that involve the use of firearms or airguns. These sports test an individual's accuracy, precision, control, and mental fortitude. Participants typically aim to hit targets at varying distances, using different types of equipment and shooting positions.

Common disciplines include rifle shooting, pistol shooting, and shotgun shooting. Rifle shooting often involves precision aiming at stationary targets from different stances like prone, kneeling, or standing. Pistol shooting can range from static bullseye targets to dynamic scenarios requiring rapid and accurate fire. Shotgun sports, such as trap and skeet, focus on hitting moving clay targets. Airgun shooting is a popular entry point, utilizing compressed air to propel pellets, and is often practiced indoors.

Safety is paramount in all forms of ammuntaurheilua. Strict regulations and established protocols are in place to ensure the safe handling and use of firearms and airguns. Competitions are governed by national and international federations that set the rules, organize events, and promote fair play. Ammuntaurheilua is practiced by individuals of all ages and genders, and it demands significant dedication, training, and a disciplined approach. It is recognized as an Olympic sport, with various shooting disciplines featured in the Summer Games.
