Shooting at the 2015 Pacific Games was held from 6–11 July at the June Valley Shooting Range in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. Tahiti and Fiji were the most successful nations, winning three gold medals each. Medals were initially awarded for teams in the pistol shooting section, but as team events for pistols were not included in the official schedule those medals were withdrawn.
Medal summary
Pistol results
Five pistol events were hosted at the indoor shooting range. All were for individual shooters only, no team medals were on offer. The 10 metre air pistol was held as separate men's and women's competitions. The 25 metre standard pistol event was open to both men and women (i.e. not gender specific). There were two events for the 25 metre pistol (also known as the sport pistol) – one open, and one for women shooters only.
