How it is shot

Course · Alternative 1 · Alternative 2 · Air rifle · 350 Club · Inner ten · Gauging · Ties
Course
The indoor championship programme comes in two equal alternatives, each 25 shots of main match and a 10-shot final: 35 competition shots plus sighters. Alternative 1 must be used at regional (landsdelskrets) indoor championships.DFS rule 11.130 and table 11.130
Alternative 1
In alternative 1, classes 3 to 5 shoot 5 prone in 2 minutes, 5 standing in 3, 5 kneeling in 2, then 10 shots (3 standing, 3 kneeling, 4 prone) in 3 minutes; the final is 10 shots prone in 75 seconds.DFS table 11.130
Alternative 2
In alternative 2, classes 3 to 5 shoot no prone before the final: 5 kneeling in 2 minutes, 5 standing in 3, 5 kneeling in 2, then 5 standing and 5 kneeling in 4 minutes (or 3 + 2 minutes, marked together).DFS table 11.130
Air rifle
In DFS an air rifle is allowed for training only, and not even then where electronic targets with a rubber front or aiming mark, or bullet traps with a risk of ricochets, are used.DFS rule 6.101 g
350 Club
Shooters who score 350 points, the maximum, at 15 m in their class's championship programme, at team shoots or open or internal scheduled meetings, join the 350 Club 15 m — except in classes NU, SK1, SK2, scope, hunter, open and HK416.DFS rule 12.270
Inner ten
An inner ten (innertier) counts only when the whole white centre, the blink, is shot away.DFS rule 9.410
Gauging
A gauge with a 5.6 mm flange decides values for .22 and air rifle alike; when its edge touches the dividing line, the shot gets the higher value. A panel of three judges scores the cards; its majority decides, without appeal.DFS rules 9.420 and 9.421
Ties
Ties go to the most inner tens, then tens, nines and so on over the 25-shot main match; then to the higher score in the last series, then its inner tens, tens and so on; then the series before, and so on.DFS rules 10.401 and 10.402 a

The Shooter app's scan screen, shown with an ISSF 10m Air Pistol card: each shot marked, the score, and the size and centre of the group

Training on paper? Photograph a card and the Shooter app finds the holes and scores them by these rings: every shot, your inner tens, the series total, your group’s size and centre. Holes merged? Add, move or remove a shot. Every card joins your training log, so drift shows up over time.

Scored with AI for now, which needs internet and your permission to upload the photo to an AI service in the US. Some AI scans may be free while we collect photos of this target; then each uses an AI credit (sold in packs in the app). Scoring by hand is free.
