[edit] Course of Fire

The competition consistes of 60 shots fired in two 30-shot Stages.. There is:

  • Precision Stage (30 shots); consisting of six 5-shot series, each series fired in 5 minutes shooting time
  • Rapid Fire Stage (30 shots); consisting of six 5-shot series, each shot fired at a 3 seconds exposure of the target

[edit] Preparation Time

Before each stage commences the shooters have 5 minutes 'Preparation Time'. During Preparation Time shooters may:

  • set up and prepare their equipment at the allocated firing point
  • dry fire

Preparation Time commences 5 minutes before the scheduled time for the relay.

[edit] Sighting series

Before each stage the shooters have a 5-shot sighting series in the same timing as for that stage.

[edit] Precision Stage

  • There are 6 series each of 5-shots fired in 5 minutes shooting time.
  • The 'Ready Position' does not apply for the Precision Stage

  • The shooter must have her arm no more than 45 degrees from the vertical for each 'exposure' (before the targets face - paper targets: or the green light comes on Electronically Scored Targets (EST)). This 'Ready Position' is specified in ISSF rule 8.6.1.3.1
