There were eight shooting events at the 2006 South American Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina. They included four for men and four for women in the rifle and pistol disciplines.
Argentina led the way with gold medals in five out of eight events, continuing their dominance in shooting at the South American Games.[3] Cecilia Zeid, who set a new South American continental record at the competition, called the Games an "excellent preparation" for the 2007 Pan American Games.[4]
Meanwhile, Venezuela captured gold medals in two events, winning both the individual and team categories in the women's 25 meter pistol.[3] Lastly, Chilean shooter Mauricio Huerta won the gold medal in the 10 metre air rifle individual event by setting a new South American continental record.[5]
The pair of silver medals won by Bolivian shooters Carina García and Wendy Palomeque were the only silver (or gold) medals won by the Bolivian delegation, in any sport.[6]
