Shooting at the 2008 Summer Paralympics consisted of twelve events.

The classification system allows shooters to compete against others with a similar level of function.

There were 140 athletes (96 male, 44 female) from 44 nations taking part in this sport.

This ranking sorts countries by the number of gold medals earned by their shooters (in this context a nation is an entity represented by a National Paralympic Committee).

If, after the above, countries are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically.
