What exactly do USA shooting athletes use optics for? Except for shotgun, they use electronic targets that have a monitor right in front of them, and no competition allows optical sights. I am also not aware of any shotgun shooters using spotting scopes to check and see if they hit a bird.....

Perhaps coaches can spy on their shooter's personal monitors rather than relying on the large display screens that display all shooter's scores and shot locations?

Even the top USA ISSF shooters don't get to shoot on electronic targets all the time. When rifle and pistol shooters are shooting practice or matches on paper targets they would need spotting scopes.

Athletes shooting on electronic targets at 50m and 300m can use spotting scopes to check the rubber advance, mirage, etc. Spotting scopes are not allowed at 10m.
