I'm not sure "shooters" is the best word, either. -- Beland 02:25, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- er... trappist, pistoleer, target shooter, marksman? 132.205.15.43 02:34, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- not "Trappist" - unless you want to confuse shooters and monks! I think it also depends what you want - people who compete at sporting events like the Olympics as shooters (in which case you can't use "Pistoleer" - since they use shotguns IIRC), or people who have used guns in military/paramilitary situations (in which case they're probably covered in other categories anyway). I think that if you're talking sport "Shooters" is correct, though. Grutness|hello?
- Out of context, the phrase "German shooters" makes me think, "Murderers who shot their victims and who are from Germany". Perhaps "sport shooters" is closer to what is intended. -- Beland

Unless there are objections, I will do:
- MOVE_CONTENTS_INCL_CATS Category:German_shooters -> Category:Sport shooters of Germany
- MOVE_CONTENTS_INCL_CATS Category:Shooters_by_country -> Category:Sport_shooters_by_country
