SSV 25m RF Pistol target
The ISSF rapid-fire face as the Swiss shooting federation (SSV) uses it: for its yearly individual competition of three 5-shot series in 50, 40 and 30 seconds, for the series half of the Eidgenössische Konkurrenz and for the club competition. Rimfire, centre-fire and ordnance pistols all compete, the ordnance pistols with lower award limits and the only ones allowed two hands. The same card is also used as the SPSF 25m Rapid Fire Pistol (SPSF, Sweden).

SSV-Auszeichnungen
SSV awards
The SSV’s Volksschiessen is meant to bring people to sport shooting, and most who shoot it hold no licence: in 2025, 7,868 of the 10,835 shooters in its 50 m edition. Most awards in the 300 m Einzelwettschiessen are Kranzkarten rather than badges, 92 percent of them in 2025. The Sportschützenauszeichnung is there to draw more shooters to club and popular shoots.
Classes go by birth year, as the age reached in the year the season ends. A Kranzkarte (wreath card) is a card worth the francs shown, given as, or instead of, a wreath badge.
