He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to take a reward for a competition in modern weapons, such as shooting with bullets?

Without a doubt, shooting with bombs, bullets, or airplanes all falls under the category of archery, and archery varies in each era according to its circumstances. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Anfal 8:60] and the power varies in each era according to its circumstances. Therefore, it is permissible to take a reward for competitions in it.
