Handgun Shooting Sports

Handgun Shooting Sports

  • The six Pistol ISSF shooting events (including four Olympic events) consist of both precision and rapid-fire target shooting from distances of 10, 25 and 50m.
  • The CISM Rapid Fire match is similar to the ISSF 25m Rapid Fire Pistol event.
  • Practical shooting, developed from military and police exercises, is a variation where the shooter often moves during shooting, and hit scores and shooting time are equally important.
  • PPC 1500, also developed from police exercises, is standard precision shooting, as opposed to practical shooting, but somewhat imitating real-life conditions.
  • Muzzle loading and Cowboy Action Shooting, uses revolvers in addition to rifles .
  • Metallic silhouette shooting, developed to loosely simulate hunting, is shooting at heavy animal-shaped steel silhouettes that must be knocked down to score, typically at long range using very powerful pistols.
  • Here also there are a vast number of nationally recognised sports, including:
    • The NRA conventional pistol competition, shot with three different handguns, popular in the United States but also some other countries.
    • Field shooting, a type of variable rapid-fire competition, popular in Scandinavia.
