TheISSF World Shooting Championships are governed by theInternational Shooting Sport Federation. These championships, including allISSF shooting events, are held every four years since 1954. For the shotgun events only, there is an additional World Championship competition in odd years.
World Shooting Championships began in 1897, after the successful1896 Summer Olympics, and although the ISSF was not founded until 1907, these early competitions are still seen by the organization as the beginning of a continuous row of championships. By this logic, the 2006 competition in Zagreb was called the 49th ISSF World Shooting Championships.
The World Championships were held each year from 1897 to 1931, with the exception of the years 1915–1920 (interruption by World War I) and 1926. From 1933 to 1949, they were held biennially, although the 1941–1945 competitions were canceled (again, because of world war). The current schedule, with large World Championships only every four years, was adapted in 1954.
Originally,300 metre rifle (in various positions) was the only discipline on the programme, despite many other events having been included in the Olympics. In 1900,50 metre pistol was added. This programme was in use until 1929, the only change being the addition of300 metre army rifle, with mandatory use of the host nation's army weapon, in 1911. The 1929 championships in Stockholm saw the addition of most of the remaining events from the Olympic programme:100 metre running deer,50 metre rifle andtrap.25 metre rapid fire pistol had to wait until 1933.
Immediately after World War II,300 metre standard rifle (with more strict rules than 300 metre rifle but less than 300 metre army rifle) was added along with25 metre center-fire pistol andskeet. There was also briefly a combined 50 and 100 m rifle competition. Specific women's events began to be slowly added from 1958, although women had previously, and at times successfully, been allowed to compete alongside the men. The last remaining army rifle event and 100 metre running deer were dropped in 1966, the latter in favour of50 metre running target. 50 metre standard rifle was also added for both men and women, but was soon dropped for the men due to the similarity to 50 metre rifle. The 1970 World Championships in Phoenix added airgun events,25 metre standard pistol and the mixed running target competition.10 metre running target was added in 1981.
For the 1994 competitions in Milan, a number of profound changes were made. First, junior competitions were added (like the senior championships, these are only held every four years); they had previously been tested in the special shotgun and airgun championships. Second, there were no longer medals awarded in single positions in the 300 metre and 50 metre rifle matches (except for theprone position, which has its own match). Third,double trap had been introduced five years earlier in Montecatini Terme and now made its way into the large championships. With only minor additions, the 1994 programme is still in use.

Special shotgun championships were first held in 1934, and since 1959 they are held biennially so that in these events, there are either Olympic Games or World Championships each year. The original event wastrap;skeet was added in 1950 anddouble trap in 1989.
It was in this kind of championship that the first woman won a World Championship medal in shooting:Carola Mandel (USA) in 1950. Women got their own competitions in 1967.
Running target events have been sporadically included; the last time was 1983. As a compensation for the 2005 loss of Olympic status for10 metre running target however, it has been decided to hold provisional World Championships in 10 metre running target and50 metre running target in Olympic years, starting in 2008.
5 Edition (1961, 1967, 1973, 1975, 1983) of shotgun and running target was held simultaneously.
