NATIONAL COMPETITION RULES, SCORE SHEET & TARGETS:

25m, PISTOL CALIBRE SEMI-AUTO RIFLE EXERCISE

It is compulsory that a video of the exercise being shot shall be made for ratification if need arises. The video must be taken from behind the shooter in such a manner that the shooting position of the shooter is visible in relationship to target A and target B. The video must also capture the shooting time used for both targets of this exercise.

FIREARMS ALLOWED:  Only Pistol Calibres in Semi-Auto Rifles or in Pistol Carbine Conversion Kits (i.e. 7,65x17; 9mmP; .40 S&W; .45 ACP)

Exercise shot on two Targets against time

A-Target - Rapid fire: Firing of 10 shots at 25 metres - timed string (no time limits)  

B-Target - Rapid fire: Firing of 10 shots at 25 metres - timed string (no time limits)      

SCORING:

Participants must shoot 10 shots at each target

Shots count according to the number of the scoring ring they are fired into.  Cut shots counts the higher number - a cut shot is a shot of which the hole of the shot (not its leaded edge) cuts the outside line of any scoring ring

TIME PENALTIES: All shots outside of scoring rings but still on the edge of the paper the target is printed upon, or which are totally off the target (A or B), represents a time penalty of + 3,00 seconds / per shot for that specific target.

Scoring the A-Target:  Score is calculated as the number of points scored with the 10 shot string - that total is then divided by the number of seconds (two decimals) it took to shoot the 10 shots (Original time plus time penalties) = the Mark for the A-Target (i.e. 70 points divided by 30,00 seconds = a Mark of 2,33)

Scoring the B-Target:  Score is calculated as the number of points scored with the 10 shot string - that total is then divided by the number of seconds (two decimals) it took to shoot the 10 shots (Original time plus time penalties) = the Mark for the A-Target (i.e. 70 points divided by 22,00 seconds = a Mark of 3,18)

Example of scoring: Mark for A-Target is 2,33 + Mark for B-Target is 3,18 - add Mark for A-Target and Mark for B-Target = Exercise Mark of 5,52

The score achieved for each Target is entered onto the Score Sheet, which must accompany the Targets at submission of scores on the participant`s Personal Natshoot Profile Page.
