Shooting at the 1996 Summer Olympics

The shooting competitions at the 1996 Summer Olympics took place at the Wolf Creek Shooting Complex near Atlanta, United States. Competitions were held in ten men's events and five women's events. For men's and women's double trap, it was the first Olympic competition, and because a women's shotgun event thus had been added, it was also the first time that no Olympic shooting competitions were open to both genders. This caused some controversy as the winner of the open skeet event at the Barcelona games in 1992 was a woman, Zhang Shan, and double trap, the only event now available to her, is quite unsimilar to skeet. Women's trap and skeet were added to the program in 2000.
