I guess I have badminton in my head as a back yard game. Shooting typically does not require athletism, but sometimes it could I suupose if there was some kind of obstacle course or something. Wasn't there a cross country ski and shoot in the winter? That would require some athletism I believe but target shooting, not so much. Shooting in the olypics?

Yes, the biathlon which may be one of the most difficult events in the winter olympics. Imagine trying to shoot a difficult target with you heart pounding like crazy and sweat dripping over the eyes!
