Thanks,

I know there's a few shotgun games, with International Trap being very hard

Isn't it a shame that nobody mentions USA Shooting as a good website. USAS is dropping the ball when it comes to introducing the public to shooting sports in a basic Olympic-centered fashion.

Yes I did forget the

Womens Trap
Womens Skeet
Mens Trap
Mens Double Trap
Mens Skeet

Biathalon to me is a sking event not really an Olympic Shooting event as those are administered by the ISSF, Biatholon is not.
