Gun shooting became an official sport in 1871 or 1872 when the NRA was formed, however, I'm sure, informally, people started shooting against other people for competition the day after the gun was invented, which was in either the 1300s or 1400s, depending on who you ask. According to some historians, bow and arrow shooting dates back to 9000 B.C.
