Large-bore pistol
The large-bore pistol and revolver events (9 mm, .357, .44, .45), which may be shot two-handed, fire four 5-shot series of 150 seconds here, then four of 20 seconds on the Nr. 10; the best six add a final of two 20-second series.DSB rules 2.1.1, 2.21.2, 2.21.3 and 2.21.5
Large-bore events
The large-bore pistol and revolver events fire their four 20-second series of five on this card, and the best six then add a final of two more 20-second series, shot on it too.DSB rules 2.21.2, 2.21.3 and 2.21.5
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
