The sequence of long-range shooting consists of 40 shots, divided into skill shooting and course shooting, plus trial shots. The BDS handgun target is shot; this corresponds to the dimensions of the UIT disc , but the 9, 10 and inner tens rings are shown in white instead of black.

Skill shooting

The skill shooting takes place with up to five shooters who shoot next to each other at the same time. The shooting times (10 seconds) are displayed by turning the targets or by acoustic signals.

  4. 20 meters: 5 shots in 10 seconds

Course shooting

In course shooting, only one shooter shoots at the same time, from four different positions on a total of four targets. The total time required for the course is measured electronically and is included in the overall ranking.

It is started with a fully loaded weapon at the 20-meter shooting position; After the start signal, the time to the last shot is measured, for the following sequence:

  1. 20 meters: 5 shots standing, then proceed to the 15-meter position, reload
  2. 15 meters: 5 shots kneeling, then proceed to the 10-meter position, reload
  3. 10 meters: 5 shots standing, then proceed to the 5 meter position, reload
  4. 5 meters: 5 shots standing, one-handed

For reloading can either individual cartridges be carried (variant 1) or at guns precharged magazines or in turrets filled Speedloader or Moon clips are used (variant 2).

  • Pistol (variant 1): 80 seconds
  • Pistol (variant 2): 60 seconds
  • Revolver (variant 1): 80 seconds
  • Revolver (variant 2): 70 seconds

For every full second by which the shooting time in the course section is exceeded, a ring is deducted from the result.
