Shooting at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games was the first appearance of Shooting at the Commonwealth Games. The events were held at the Twickenham Park Range in Spanish Town[1] and featured contests in five disciplines.[2][3]

Canada topped the medal table again by virtue of winning two bronze medals more than England, after both had tied with two gold medals and one silver medal.[4]
