Bullseye shooting

Bullseye shooting is a category of shooting sport disciplines where the objective is to score points with carefully placed precision fire by hitting a target as close to its center as possible.

The name refers to the target center's nickname, the "bull's eye".

In Scandinavia, this type of shooting competition is referred to as Range-Shooting (Danish: baneskydning,[1] Norwegian: baneskyting,[2] Swedish: banskytte[3]), as it usually takes place at dedicated shooting range.

A large emphasis is put on accuracy and precision through steady breath, sight picture and trigger control,[citation needed] and fixed and relatively long time limits give competitors time to concentrate for a perfect shot.

An example of bullseye shooting competitions is the ISSF pistol and rifle events, but there are also many other national and international disciplines which can be classified as bullseye shooting, e.g., NRA Precision Pistol competitions in the United States.
