The Scotch Irish settlers on the frontier favored shooting matches sponsored by Tavern keepers. <a href="/wiki/Turkey_shoot#Sport_usage" title="Turkey shoot">Turkey shoots</a> were popular after harvest time. Contestants would pay an entry fee, and everyone who killed a tethered turkey at 110 yards for muskets or 165 yards for rifles could keep the bird. German gunsmiths in Pennsylvania began to manufacture Flintlock rifles in the 1720s, which became especially popular among hunters because of its long-range accuracy. It could be accurate to 200 yards. Along about 1820, percussion caps, and the locks that ignited them, became available, and nearly all new firearms began to be constructed using this ignition system. Many flintlock firearms were also subsequently converted to the percussion system, which was a relatively simple procedure that could be accomplished by local gunsmiths. Although percussion ignition did not add to the accuracy of the firearm, the time between when the firearm firing mechanism (or "lock") started the sequence that lead to the ignition of the propellant in the barrel, was shortened drastically. This made getting smaller shot groups on the target more attainable as the possibility of the firearm moving off the aiming point after the shooter pressed the trigger was lessened. This shortened ignition time, which is referred to as "lock time" was (and still is) a very important factor in target shooting. The closed design of the percussion system materially improved reliability of the firearm, especially in rainy or damp conditions.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Writing_better_articles#Stay_on_topic" title="Wikipedia:Writing better articles"><span title="The material near this tag may contain information that is not relevant to the article's main topic.

Practicing for game hunting by shooting at artificial aerial targets launched from spring-powered launching devices ("traps") became highly popular and led to the development of the modern Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays shooting sports. </p><p>In 1831 a sportsman club in Cincinnati Ohio held a competitive shoot at pigeons and quail released from ground traps.

The matches continued to the late 1920s, and the Palma trophy was eventually lost in Washington DC around the outbreak of WW2. The match was revived in the modern era in 1966 in Canada, and continues between teams from around the world.

It is a 10-metre target shooting, using a standardized barrel caliber and length, and a standardized dart length and weight as outlined by IFA. There are two more styles, both based upon the Cherokee Annual Gathering Blowgun Competition. The Field Style competition is similar to the winter Biathlon, where the shooter runs from a starting line to a target lane, shoots and retrieves the darts, and continues to the next station. The course length varies from 400 to 800 m with from 9 to 16 targets at various heights and shooting distances. The final style is the Long Distance target shoot. The target is a circle of 24 cm diameter, and the firing line is 20 m away. Three darts are fired by each shooter, at least one of which must stick in the target.

While the term esports includes many types of video games unrelated to shooting sports, a major subset of esports are the <a href="/wiki/Shooter_game" title="Shooter game">shooters</a>, namely <a href="/wiki/First-person_shooters" class="mw-redirect" title="First-person shooters">first-person shooters</a> and <a href="/wiki/Third-person_shooters" class="mw-redirect" title="Third-person shooters">third-person shooters</a>. Matches of these games can take a variety of forms but traditionally take formats similar to paintball, involving teams of players whose objective is to eliminate the opposing team in simulated combat, often while also focusing other key objectives. Major games of these styles currently in professional play include (among others) <i><a href="/wiki/Counter-Strike:_Global_Offensive" title="Counter-Strike: Global Offensive">Counter-Strike: Global Offensive</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Overwatch_(video_game)" title="Overwatch (video game)">Overwatch</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Team_Fortress_2" title="Team Fortress 2">Team Fortress 2</a></i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Valorant" title="Valorant">Valorant</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/PlayerUnknown%27s_Battlegrounds" class="mw-redirect" title="PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds">PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds</a></i>. Organized play is done both <a href="/wiki/Online_game" title="Online game">online</a> or in-person. While there has been serious interest to <a href="/wiki/Esports#Olympic_Games_recognition" title="Esports">include esports in the Olympics and similar events</a>, the inclusion of shooters has been less welcomed due to their often violent visual content. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height:
