The Standard Pistol Match
This event was introduced in the 70's, partly to meet the needs of USA shooters and partly to regulate the refinement of the pistols being used in the various target disciplines. The event is shot at 25 metres on the 50m Precision Target, in three timed sequences of 150 secs for 5 shots, then 20 seconds for 5 shots and finally 10 seconds for 5 shots. Unlike Rapid Fire the competitor has only one target to shoot on. The pistols are heavily regulated and elaborate grips and long barrels/sight radius are not allowed. The calibre used is .22 long rifle. The event consists of 60 shots and has a possible score of 600.
