DGI 50m Rifle target

Course

The class programme is 20 counting shots in 30 minutes, sighting shots included, with any number of sighters first. The Stilling classes shoot 10 prone, 5 kneeling and 5 standing, in any order.DGI chapter 3 C.3

Positions

Children shoot prone with a rest; juniors prone without a rest or standing with one; Åben and Senior prone without a rest, standing with a rest or standing with elbow support; Fri in any approved position. A sling is allowed when no rest is used.DGI chapter 3 A and C.3

40-shot series

At the organiser’s choice, competitions may shoot the programme as a 40-shot series instead of a main and a championship shoot: 60 minutes per shoot, any number of sighters before each position, and it counts as two results.DGI chapter 3 C.3; chapter 2, § 2 b

Final

At the DGI Danish championship, finalists — children, juniors, Stilling, Åben and Senior shooters who reach a set total — shoot 5 shots in 4 minutes, marked together, then 5 single shots of 45 seconds, in tenths; 50 shots decide the title.DGI chapter 13 B c

Seasons

DGI splits the year into two seasons: 15 m is shot in the winter period, 1 October to 31 March; 25, 50, 200 and 300 m in the summer period, 1 April to 30 September.DGI chapter 2, § 2 d

Gauging

Cards are scored inward with a .22 gauge: when its collar touches any part of a higher ring, the higher value counts. No gauge is used with electronic scoring or an automatic scoring machine.DGI chapter 4, § 7 Skivebedømmelse

Ties

Totals carry the X-10 count after a slash (148/8). Ties go to the most X-10s, then 10s, 9s and so on over the whole shoot; with a main and a championship shoot, a tied total goes first to the higher championship score.DGI chapter 4, § 10 a Indrangering ved pointlighed

Electronic targets

Electronic scoring may be used at 50 m with one deviation from the 10-ring card: the system need only be able to mark shot values down to a 4.DGI chapter 10, § 1
