There really is no physical aspect in shooting. What matters is the mental aspect. You need intense concentration and good decision making abilities. The sense of this sport is to put those abilities and your nerves to the test. The emotional moment comes when you either get in the finals and/or win a medal

Pity its not done here

Sure it's more than likely "combat training"

It has its origins in military shooting tables. The old BAP course of fire was based loosely on it. But having said that, it is the only true olympic 25meter pistol shooting discipline. Would be nice if some of the clubs out there would go and run it. It would reintroduce the element of excitement in pistol practice.

Who does "combat training" for the Olympic please ? BTW to win Olympic pistol medals requires you shoot the finals in timed rapid fire, unless the Irish send their women
•The best 8 shooters qualify and move to the final round (6 finalists in the 25m Rapid Fire Pistol Men event only).

(25m Men's Rapid Fire Pistol) Is this form of Olympic shooting allowed here and if not why if the requirement for licensing is that the pistol has to be of Olympic standard.

Good point. Yes it is, as far as I know allowed, but no club is doing it. You need a bank of 5 synchronised targets for each shooter. A bit of a specific setup. Most ranges would have to build this setup to run the event.

Really Are you that unaware of the situation here

mens rapid fire,wonder is pulling your trigger combat training

I thought the hullabaloo might involve part time solders combat training at their clubs. 1000 apologies mea culpa

# better wear protection before you answer him

My point was the powers that be seeing that would be convinced it was "combat training" as there is a certain amount of speed involved in the practice & ban it going on what's happened here in the recent past

Wasn't having a dig at ya just a bit surprised you might not/are not aware of the shafting pistol shooters have gotten here off the DOJ/Garda

......and the FCP. They negotiated over the table, yet supposedly very few understand the firearms act 2009..unusual to say the least.
Judge Eugene O’Kelly in his ruling made no mention of supposed combat training.?


To quote Roger Weedon Divisional Commander Chief Superintendent of the Surrey Police, speaker at the Mullingar conference 2008

Very interesting piece of Information re Irish shooter who won five Olympic medals in the 1920s.

25m Centre Fire Pistol is one of the ISSF shooting events and is normally a men-only event. Other than the calibre used, the Centre Fire event is exactly the same as the 25m Pistol Women, and Mens Sport Pistol events. The 25m Centre Fire match is shot with a handgun of any calibre between 7.62mm (.30") and 9.65 mm (.38"). The most popular choices by far are specially-designed sport pistols and revolvers in .32 calibre. Using a revolver is not a disadvantage because there are no speedy series of shots involved. The name Centre-Fire comes from the ignition system of these calibers as opposed to the Rimfire of .22 cartridges.
Distance = 25 m
Calibre = any between 7.62mm (.30") and 9.65 mm (.38")
For Womens Pistol and Mens Sports events, .22 calibres are used
Minimum trigger pull = 1000g
Number of shots/time:
Precision Stage = 30 shots, in six series of 5 shots, each series is 5 minutes
Rapid Fire Stage = 30 shots, in six series of 5 shots. Each series consists of 5 exposures of the target, each exposure is for 3 seconds; the shooter fires one shot per exposure.
Target:
Precision Stage = 10 ring of 50 mm diameter, each ring increases by 50 mm
Rapid Fire Stage = 10 ring of 100 mm diameter, each ring increases by 100 mm.

Re Rapid-fire pistol match.

Note that the handgun used in this match is more than just a little bit different.

It is MADE for the rapid fire pistol event, hence the origin of the WEalther OSP [Olympische Schnellfeuer Pistole], and differs substantially in construction, hand-grip and so on from its more common conventional target .22rimfire pistol.

The calibre is also different - the rapid fire competition is shot with firearms using the .22 Short cartridge, NOT the .22 Long Rifle cartridge - nothing else is permitted.

tac

Rapid fire event now uses .22 LR . Has been that was for a few years.
