25 m pistol

In the .22 25 m pistol match the precision stage is six 5-shot series of 5 minutes each on this card, after one 5-shot sighting series; the duel stage follows on the Nr. 10 card. A paper card takes at most five shots.DSB rules 0.21, 2.18.2 and 2.18.3.1; Teil 2, p. 24

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 4-second series in rapid fire, a rapid-fire (duel) series in the 25 m and centre-fire pistol.DSB rule 2.9
