Rapid-fire pistol has been an Olympic event since the first modern Games in 1896. Shot with a .22 calibre pistol from 25 meters, competitors have eight, six, or four seconds to fire one shot at each of five adjacent targets. As an added difficulty, pistols must be held downward at a 45-degree angle until the targets rotate from edge on to face the shooter. The 10-ring on this target is 10 cm wide.

Course of Fire:

Two five-shot series in eight seconds, two series in six seconds and two series in four seconds comprise a half course, the same course is repeated.

 Perfect Match Score:

600 is a perfect score, with 592 being world-class.
