International and some large national 50m rifle events have finals.. not just in the Olympics...
I believe that the article names linked from here do not conform to Wikipedia:Naming conventions and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters). Specifically, words like "rifle" and "pistol" are not proper nouns, and the "m" abbreviation ought to be spelled out in full in an article title. Therefore, for example, we should have 25 metre rapid fire pistol instead of 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol. For comparison, the article about the sprint event in athletics (track and field) is at 100 metres. I would like to make these changes, but will hold out for a few days in case discussion is needed here. Andrwsc 21:32, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Not sure if the events were ever called that, but even it they were those are still the names in usage, and refer to equipment / weapons type (standard, sport, free). you can clearly see that from (some) official abbreviations of disciplines.
for example in 50m prone rifle article: "Women's rifles may weigh up to 6.5 kilograms (14 lb), as opposed to 8.0 kilograms (17.6 lb) for men, but after the switch from standard rifles to sport rifles this is now the only difference in equipment." And you can see from abbreviations for men and women, men use free rifle and women use sport rifle.
So this should be corrected 213.149.62.86 ( talk) 10:00, 7 May 2018 (UTC)
There should be some mention of ISSF Target Sprint in here as it's a contested event with ISSF-sanctioned competitions. However, I'm not sure if it should go in the table as it is neither an Olympic or World Championship event (being run at it's own parallel World Tour events), or whether it just gets a paragraph down the bottom describing it. If it does go in the table, is it a rifle event, or in it's own category (since it's distinct in being non-precision - hit/miss scoring - which distinguishes it from every other rifle event).
