Shooting competitions at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima, Peru are scheduled to be held between August 8 and 10, 2019 at the Las Palmas Air Base.[1][2]

15 medal events are scheduled to be contested. Six for men, six for women and three mixed gender events. The men's 50 m pistol, men's 50 m rifle and men's double trap events have been dropped in favour of three mixed gender events. This was done after the International Olympic Committee pushed for gender equal events across all sports.[3][4] A total of 256 sport shooters will qualify to compete at the games.[5]

The top two shooters, not already qualified, in each individual event will qualify for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan.[6]
