Shooting sports — the science of hitting targets

They're not manufactured for war or for hunting. First-class weapons, pistols and rifles, have been used by sportsmen for almost a century and a half — that's how long marksmanship has been an Olympic sport. RTG host Stanislav Salnikov tries his hand at the sport, assessing his abilities at an in-door range and in clay-pigeon shooting. He also learns how the sport is developing through the use of psychologists and physiologists who work to create champions.
