DSB 25m Center-fire Pistol

Centre-fire pistol

Centre-fire pistol shoots its precision stage here the same way, with revolvers or self-loading pistols of 7.62 to 9.65 mm (.30–.38) firing lead or similarly soft bullets, no jacketed, magnum or heavy-charged loads; hits are gauged at 9.65 mm.DSB rules 2.20, 2.20.1 and 0.11.3.2

Duel stage

In the duel stage of the .22 and centre-fire 25 m pistol, each 5-shot series shows the card five times for 3 seconds, turning it away for 7; more than one shot per appearance costs the best hits on that card plus two rings each.DSB rules 2.18.3.3 and 2.5.2

Ready position

In rapid fire and the duel stages the shooter waits with the arm lowered at least 45°. Lowering it less or raising it too early means a warning and a repeated series, two rings off the second time in a stage, disqualification the third.DSB rule 2.6

Shots while turning

A shot that hits while the card is turning counts if its hole is no longer horizontally than 7.0 mm for .22, 11.0 mm for 7.62–9.65 mm and 13.0 mm for 9.66–11.58 mm; if the gauge opening touches a ring, the higher value counts.DSB rule 2.5.3

Marking

In 25 m events other than muzzle-loading, cards should be scored at the target line: each hit is shown with a paddle or coloured markers, a 10 in red and every other hit in white.DSB rules 0.11.1 and 0.11.1.1

Shoot-off

Where no final is shot, ties for the first three places, unless at the maximum score, are shot off one series at a time: a rapid-fire series in the 25 m and centre-fire pistol, a 10-second series in standard pistol.DSB rule 2.9
