Shooting at the 1996 Summer Olympics

The shooting competitions at the 1996 Summer Olympics happened at the Wolf Creek Shooting Complex near Atlanta, United States. Both men and women competed in these events. For the first time, there were Olympic competitions in men's and women's double trap, and a women's shotgun event was also added.

The rules for the shooting events were changed for these Olympics. The number of targets in trap and skeet events was reduced from 200 to 125. Also, if shooters tied after the final round, they would have shoot-offs to decide the winner, instead of using the old rule that looked at the qualification scores.
