DSB Nr.7 10m Air Pistol target

DSB's Scheibe Nr. 7 carries four of its air pistol events: the one-handed match of 20 to 60 shots, LP Standard with its 20-second series, the precision half of the Mehrkampf, and the rested air pistol for seniors from 51. At the German championship each paper card takes a single shot. The same card is also used as the ISSF 10m Air Pistol (ISSF), the NRA B-40 10m Air Pistol (NRA, United States) and the SPSF 10m Air Pistol (SPSF, Sweden).

Leistungs- und Meisterschützenabzeichen des DSB

DSB proficiency and master marksman badges

The DSB gives its performance badges each year to reward results and to encourage shooting for performance. A badge result can also count as the coordination test of the German Sports Badge (Deutsches Sportabzeichen) the same year. Clubs order the badges on a form at the end of each quarter, through their district, from their state association; in 2026 a small badge cost €4.00, a large one €4.50 and the master marksman badge €6.50.

Age classes go by the age reached in the calendar year, the DSB’s sport year.

Schießauszeichnungen des KB

KB shooting awards

The KB’s awards share one design in every weapon type but the English Match, and are told apart by size, colour and inscription. Its Schießsportordnung doubles as the shooter’s record book, in which the club’s shooting officer signs off each award with its score and date. Claims are checked by the district shooting officer and passed on to the state’s; an award won against the rules is withdrawn. The Silbernes Gewehr was first awarded for the 1967 season.

Classes go by the age reached in the calendar year: Schüler up to 14 (Schüler I 10–11, II 12–14); J Sch / Jun, Jungschützen 15–17 and Junioren 18–20, M girls and J boys; Damen and Schützen 21–40; Damen Alt(ers) and Alters 41–50; Damen Sen(ioren) and Senioren 51–60; Sen(ioren) I 61–70 and II 71 and over, with their Damen classes; Behinderte I 18–50, II 51 and over. Klasse I–IV, as the KB defines them for its service arms: I 18–40, II 41–60, III 61–70, IV 71 and over.

How it is shot

Course · Pistol · Standard air pistol · Combined · Rested event · Gauging · Ties
Course
The air pistol match is 20, 40 or 60 shots, in 35, 60 or 90 minutes on target-carrier ranges and 30, 50 or 75 on other systems, after a common 15-minute preparation with unlimited sighting shots.DSB rule 0.21; Teil 2, pp. 24–25
Pistol
The pistol is any 4.5 mm air pistol of at most 7.5 joules, loaded with one pellet and fired one-handed; it weighs at most 1,500 g, has a trigger pull of at least 500 g and fits a 420 × 200 × 50 mm box.DSB rules 2.1 and 2.11; Teil 2, p. 23
Standard air pistol
LP Standard, shot with a multi-shot air pistol, is 40 shots: four 5-shot series of 150 seconds, then four of 20 seconds, started from the ready position, arm lowered at least 45°; one 5-shot sighting series in 150 seconds comes first.DSB rules 2.6 and 2.14 to 2.14.3
Combined
In the air pistol Mehrkampf, shot with a multi-shot air pistol, only the precision half is on this card: four 5-shot series of 150 seconds after a sighting series; the rapid-fire half follows on the Nr. 8 card in 3/7-second mode.DSB rules 0.21, 2.13, 2.13.2 and 2.13.3
Rested event
The rested air pistol is for seniors from 51 (from 66 also seated): 30 shots, one to a card, in 55 minutes on target-carrier ranges or 45 on other systems, sighting included, arm and wrist unsupported. State and national championships score it in tenths.DSB rules 9.1, 9.4 and 9.8.1; Teil 9, p. 8
Gauging
A hit takes the higher ring when the pellet visibly touches that ring’s outer line; doubtful hits are judged with an outward gauge with an 11.50 mm measuring ring.DSB rules 0.11.3 and 0.11.3.2
Ties
Without a final, ties for the top three in LP Standard and the Mehrkampf go to a shoot-off: a 20-second series in LP Standard, a rapid-fire series in the Mehrkampf. In the air pistol match, ties go first to the last ten-shot series, counting back.DSB rules 2.9 and 0.12.1
