For rifles and pistols, I think the only thing I couldn't teach you is the eyes. If you can't see shit, you can't hit shit, and some people just can't work out how to use their dominant eye.

Trap and Skeet are the same but a little trickier, what with the clays moving around and having to lead targets. I know guys that have been shooting birds their whole life that can't shoot trap for shit lol

I can't speak to archery I never got into it. All my shooting stemmed from hunting and we never bow hunted.

Shooting a rifle off-hand is a little tricky if you can't control your breathing, but otherwise, I agree shooting sports is probably the easiest entry level if you have the money for ammo and the time to do nothing but shoot.
