BDS Nr.9 25m Pistol target

Precision

The 25 m precision event is 20 shots, standing, in two 10-shot series of 5 minutes, with up to 10 rounds loaded per series, after any number of sighting shots on this card within 3 minutes.BDS rules K 3.03 to K 3.05 and K 2.10

Combined

In the 40-shot Kombi, the 20 precision shots are followed, on the separate interval card, by 10 interval shots (target shown 5 × 3 seconds per series) and 5-shot series in 20 and 10 seconds. Kombi shooters may also be ranked in precision.BDS rules K 3.03, K 3.04 and K 3.09

Classes

Thirteen classes split pistols, magnum pistols, revolvers and magnum revolvers by calibre, plus free and service-pistol classes, most with a minimum impulse and a weight limit; the gun is held in one hand or both where the discipline allows.BDS rules K 3.01 and K 2.10

Multi-distance

The multi-distance event uses only this card: four 5-shot series of 10 seconds at 5, 10, 15 and 20 m (weak hand, strong hand, then two hands), then a timed course of four series from 20 m in to 5 m on four cards.BDS rules K 4.03 to K 4.07

Malfunctions

Gun and ammunition malfunctions are always at the shooter’s own risk: shots lost to them may not be made up, though a second, equivalent gun may be used if the range officer allows; a third reported malfunction in a discipline disqualifies the shooter from it.BDS rules A 9.07 and A 9.08

Gauging and ties

A hit takes the higher ring when it visibly touches the dividing line; in doubt, approved overlays with printed calibre diameters may be used. Ties go to the most 10s, then the most inner tens, then the most 9s, 8s, 7s and so on.BDS rules A 9.02 and A 9.03
