All muscles.

The prime groups utilized during the act of shooting itself include the "rotator cuff" group - in lifting and turning the scapula, the deltoid flexors - particularly the anterior deltiod over the shoulder joint and bicep muscles, etc. These largely prepare the shooting position.

The actual throw and release in shooting includes further flexion of the shoulder, mainly via the anterior deltoid, extension at the elbow joint - especially via the triceps, and the flexors of the wrist, hand and fingers just prior to ball release.

Of course, the quadricep muscles of the upper leg drive and lift the body above them in push off: likewise the soleus, the muscles of the feet - especially plantar flexors and the calf muscles act in forcable action to raise the body off the floor
