shooting sports
Let an agent describe shooting sports as organised competition, explain disciplines, rules and governance, relay results and records from official sources, and keep to sport rather than weapons handling or tactical instruction.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent describe shooting sports as organised competition, explain disciplines, rules and governance, relay results and records from official sources, and keep to sport rather than weapons handling or tactical instruction.
Competitive sports that test accuracy and speed in shooting at targets with firearms, air guns, bows or other projectile devices, organised in disciplines such as rifle, pistol, shotgun and running target, governed by the ISSF and national federations, and included in the Olympic Games since 1896; the sports operate under strict safety rules and firearms law, and include historical forms such as pistol duelling with wax bullets.
What it is for: Competitive marksmanship.
It can be explain disciplines and rules; relay governance and safety frameworks; relay results and records from official sources; distinguish sport from hunting and military use.
