A. A List of Competitive Shooting Events

According to the UIT Journal 4/92):

(a quote from the document "Special Regulations for the 
Participation in the Sport Shooting Events of the Olympic 
Games Atlanta 1996")

There is also a non-trivial quota system allowing the 
participation of a total of 430 athletes on the Olympic 
Games in all events. 

The International Shooting Union has 
issued a remarkable amount of regulations, rules and 
guidelines; only the five rulebooks have 250 pages totally.
There were some important changes in the 1993 edition 
regarding shooting times, the rapid fire pistol and the 
shotgun events and the final competitions. If you want some 
details, (target diameters, firearms parameters/restrictions, timing,
distances and other rule topics) I can post them at request. 
But for the size reasons, it is impossible for me to post a summary or 
overview. If someone wants to get the global information, 
the best solution is ordering the rulebooks at the 
International Shooting Union, Bavariaring 21, D-8000 
Muenchen 2, Fed. Rep. Germany. The price is something around 
DM 20 without postage.

Hope this helps
