6.1.0 GENERAL
6.1.1 Objective and Purpose of ISSF Rules
The ISSF establishes Technical Rules for the sport of shooting to
govern the conduct of shooting events recognized by the ISSF (see
ISSF General Regulations Article 3.3.1). The objective of the ISSF is
to achieve uniformity in the conduct of the shooting sport throughout
the world to promote the development of the sport. ISSF Technical
Rules are provided to help achieve this objective.
6.1.1.1 ISSF Technical Rules include rules for range construction, targets,
scoring etc. for all shooting disciplines. Discipline Rules apply
specifically to the four shooting disciplines: Rifle, Pistol, Shotgun and
Running Target.
6.1.1.2 ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules are approved by the ISSF
Administrative Council in accordance with Article 1.7.2.5 of the
Constitution of the ISSF.
6.1.1.3 ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules are subordinate to the
Constitution of the ISSF and the ISSF General Regulations.
6.1.1.4 ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules are approved to be effective
for a minimum of four years beginning on 1 January of the year
following the Olympic Games. Except in special situations, ISSF
Rules are not changed during this four year period.
6.1.2 Application of ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules
6.1.2.1 Throughout these Rules, competitions where World Records may be
established and which are approved by the ISSF in accordance with
ISSF General Regulations Article 3.2.1 are referred to as "ISSF
supervised Championships".
6.1.2.2 ISSF Rules must be applied at all ISSF Championships.
6.1.2.3 The ISSF recommends that ISSF Rules be applied at competitions
where ISSF events are in the program, even if World Records
cannot be established. Such events are referred to as “ISSF
Supervised Events”.
6.1.3 Scope of Technical Rules
Technical Rules include:
6.1.3.1 rules for the preparation and organization of ISSF Championships;
6.1.3.2 rules for planning the construction and installation of shooting ranges;
6.1.3.3 rules which apply to all shooting disciplines or more than one
shooting discipline.
6.1.4 Unless a Rule applies specifically to a men's or women's event, it must
apply uniformly to both men's and women's events.

6.3.12.2.6 when it is necessary to install dividing screens on the firing line they
must be made of transparent material on a light frame. Screens
should extend at least 50 cm forward of the firing line, and be no less
than 1.5 m long x 2.0 m high. They are to be located between every
two firing points, at the minimum;
6.3.12.2.7 if the firing point is exposed to excessive wind, additional protection
for the shooters must be provided by screens, rows of trees or other
means.
6.3.12.2.8 On new ranges wind breaks forward of the firing line are not
permitted. It is recommended that wind breaks are removed from all
ranges.
6.3.13 Firing Point Standards for 300 m Ranges
The size of the firing point must not be less than 1.6 m wide x 2.5 m
long. The width of the firing point may be reduced only if any dividing
screens are constructed so that a shooter in the prone position can
put his left leg in an adjacent firing point without disturbing that
shooter.
6.3.14 Firing Point Standards for 50 m Ranges
6.3.14.1 The size of the firing point must not be less than 1.6 m wide x 2.5 m
long if the firing point is also used for 300 m shooting.
6.3.14.2 To allow more shooters to participate in 50 m events, the width of the
firing point may be reduced to 1.25 m. Target systems used on such
ranges must be capable of changing targets without disturbing
neighboring shooters.
6.3.14.3 Light conditions for 50 m Indoor Ranges
The minimum illumination of the targets must be 1500 lux. However,
it is recommended that the minimum illumination of the targets is
3000 lux.
6.3.15 Range and Firing Point Standards for 10 m Ranges
6.3.15.1 The firing point must be a minimum of 1 m wide.
6.3.15.2 The range must be equipped according to Rule 6.3.12 with a bench
or stand, a chair or stool and, if paper targets are used, with the
equipment for the Register Keeper.
6.3.15.2.1 The nearest edge of the bench or stand must be placed 10 cm
forward of the 10 m Firing line. The use of a board as a firing line is
not permitted.
6.3.15.3 10 m ranges must be equipped with electric-mechanical target
carriers or changers, or Electronic Scoring Targets.

6.3.17.8.3 by using other systems or devices which have been approved by the
ISSF Technical Committee.
6.3.17.9 Timing must start the moment the targets begin to face and stop the
moment they begin to turn away.
6.3.17.10 If the time is less than specified or greater than 0.2 sec, the Range
Officer, acting either on his own or on instructions from a Jury
Member, must stop the shooting to allow the timing mechanism to be
regulated. In such cases, the Jury may postpone the start or restart
of shooting.
6.3.17.11 If plywood or other solid backing boards are used for the targets, the
area corresponding to the eight (8) ring zone must be cut out from
the backing board to facilitate scoring and the accurate
measurement of skid shots.
6.3.17.12 If solid backing boards are used, the center portion of the target
backing boards must be made of cardboard.
6.3.17.13 Target frames for the 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol event must be placed in
groups of five (5), all at the same height +1cm, all functioning
simultaneously and all facing one firing point which is centered on
the middle target of the group. The distance between target centers,
axis to axis, in a group of five must be 75 cm (+1cm).
6.3.17.14 Facing times for 25 m pistol events are:
6.3.17.14.1 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol 8, 6 and 4 seconds;
6.3.17.14.2 25 m Standard Pistol: 150, 20 and 10 seconds;
6.3.17.14.3 25 m Pistol and 25 m Center Fire Pistol Rapid Fire Stage:
facing for three (3) seconds for each shot, alternating with an edge-on
face away time of seven (7) seconds (+/- 1 second);
6.3.17.14.4 for all facing times a tolerance of + 0.2 seconds to - 0.0 seconds is
allowed.
6.3.17.15 Standards for 25 m Electronic Scoring Target Systems
6.3.17.15.1 When electronic scoring targets are used the timing equipment will
be set to give the nominal exposure times (see 6.3.17.14) plus 0.1
seconds (which is half the tolerance given in 6.3.17.7.2).
6.3.17.15.2 An "after-time" (the period which is to ensure that shots which would
have been valid "skid-shots" on conventional targets, are also scored
on the electronic targets) will be added at + 0.2 seconds. (Total = 0.3
seconds).
6.3.18 General Standards for Running Target Ranges
6.3.18.1 The range must be so arranged that the target runs horizontally in
both directions across an open area with a constant speed. This
area, where the target may be fired upon, is called the "opening."
The movement of the target across the opening is called a "run."

6.3.18.2 The protective walls on both sides of the opening must be of such a
height that no part of the target is visible until it reaches the opening.
The edges must be marked with a color differing from that of the
target.
6.3.18.3 Targets for 50 m are placed on a trolley or target carrier constructed
so that the two targets (one running to the left and one to the right)
can be alternately shown. The trolley may run on rails, cable, or a
similar system and must be moved by a driving unit which can be
regulated accurately for speed. Targets for 10 m are not changed for
left and right runs.
6.3.18.4 Ranges must be constructed to prevent any person from being
exposed to danger during shooting.
6.3.18.5 The shooting station must be arranged so that the shooter is visible
to spectators. The shooting station must be protected from rain. The
shooter should also be protected from sun and wind if this does not
prevent spectators from seeing him.
6.3.18.5.1 The shooting station must be at least 1 m wide and aligned with the
center line of fire according to 6.3.11.3. The Dry Firing position must
be located to the left of the shooting station. The shooting station
must be screened on both sides with separating partitions so that the
shooter is not disturbed by dry firing or other extraneous influences.
The separating partition between the firing point and the dry firing
point must not be longer than to allow the dry firing shooter to watch
the ready position of the competition shooter by observing the
muzzle movement of his rifle.
6.3.18.6 In front of the shooter there must be a bench or a table 0.7 m –
0.8 m high.
6.3.18.7 Behind the shooter there must be a place for the Range Officer and
at least one member of the Jury. The Register Keepers must be
located either behind or at the side of the shooting station.
6.3.18.8 Run times for the targets are:
Slow runs: 5.0 seconds, + 0.2 seconds - 0.0 seconds
Fast runs: 2.5 seconds, + 0.1 seconds - 0.0 seconds
6.3.18.9 Timing should preferably be done by using an electronic timer which
is started and stopped by switches mounted on the rail. If this
method cannot be used, timing may be done by using three (3) stop
watches operated by three different persons. The middle (median) of
the three (3) times must be counted. If the run time is found to be
less or more than that specified, range personnel or the Jury must
regulate the time to within the specified run time standards (see Rule
6.3.18.8). If the timer is built into the starting control, the timing must
be examined by the Jury and sealed.

6.3.19.3 The traps must be installed in the pit so that the pivot point of the
throwing arm is 0.50 m (+/-0.10 m) below the top surface of the
roof of the trap pit and set back 0.50 m (+/-0.10 m) from the front
edge of the roof when the trap is set at the 2 m elevation. This is
defined as the Throwing Point. Traps may be fully automatic (self
loading and cocking), semiautomatic (hand loaded and self
cocking), or manual (hand loaded and cocked). Each trap must be
provided with a means of sealing its elevation angle, and main
spring tension after these have been inspected and approved by
the Jury. All traps must be provided with a means of making target
throwing settings on a precise setting. All traps which are hand
loaded must have two stops fixed to them. The stops are
necessary to prevent accidental or deliberate movement of the
target forward or backward on the throwing arm, thus changing the
preset directions of the target. Each trap must have the elevation
and angle sectors marked in increments of 10 degrees.
6.3.19.4 The traps must be released by an electric-manual or electric-
microphone system. The control system must be placed in such a
position that the puller can clearly see and hear the call of the
shooter. The release devices must guarantee equal distribution of
targets to each shooter in a series of 25 targets. This distribution
must be: 10 targets to the right, 10 targets to the left and 5 targets
to the center. With the correct distribution, in a series of 25
targets, each group of traps must throw two targets from the left
trap, two from the right trap and one from the center trap as the
shooters progress from station 1 to 5. After every five (5) targets
the selector index must be advanced one stop.
6.3.19.5 The five shooting stations must be arranged on a straight line at a
distance 15 m to the rear of the front edge of the trap pit. Each
station must be prominently marked with a square 1 m x 1 m which
is centered on a line perpendicular to the line of shooting stations
and extending to the middle machine in each group of three. A
sixth station must be marked about 2 m to the rear and slightly to
the left of Station 1 where shooter number 6 may take his position.
All six (6) shooting stations must have a table or bench where the
shooters may place their extra cartridges and other equipment.
The stations must be firm and level in all directions. Each station
must have at the front right and left hand corners a block of wood,
piece of carpet or rubber about 15 cm square or round upon which
the shooter may rest his gun.
6.3.19.5.1 For Trap Finals a medium intensity colored lamp must be
positioned on the left hand side behind Station 1 at a distance of
1.0 m to 1.5 m at a height of 40 cm to 50 cm. The lamp must be
controlled by a system which must be so constructed as to
indicate that for a period of 10 to 12 seconds immediately after the
shooter on Station 5 has shot at a regular target that the
microphone on Station 1 is inoperable.

6.3.21.2.4 The traps must be installed in the pit so that the pivot point of the
throwing arm is 0.50 m (+/-0.10 m) below the top surface of the roof
of the trap house and set back 0.50 m (+/-0.10 m) from the front edge
of the roof when the trap is set at the 2 m elevation (see Figures).
Traps may be fully automatic (self loading and cocking),
semiautomatic (hand loaded and self cocking), or manual (hand
loaded and cocked). Each trap must be provided with a means of
sealing its elevation, angle, and main spring tension after these have
been inspected and approved by the Jury. All traps must be provided
with a means of allowing target throwing on a precise setting. All
traps which are hand loaded must have two stops fixed to them. The
stops are necessary to prevent accidental or deliberate movement of
the target forward or backward on the throwing arm, thus changing
the preset directions of the target. Each trap must have the elevation
and angle sectors marked in increments of 10 degrees.
6.3.21.2.5 The traps must be released by an electric-manual or electric-
microphone system fitted with a timer device. The control system
must be placed in such a position that the puller can clearly see and
hear the call of the shooter. For all ISSF championships an automatic
timer must be used. The timer device must be set to release the
targets within the period varying randomly from zero (0) to one (1)
second after the shooter’s call. The system must guarantee the
simultaneous release of the two (2) targets from the predetermined
traps. Where an electric-manual system is used, the release device
must be designed so that only one (1) button or switch can be used
to release the targets.
6.3.21.2.6 The five (5) shooting stations must be arranged on a straight line at a
distance of 15 m to the rear and parallel to the front edge of the trap
pit. Each station must be prominently marked with a square 1 m x 1
m. Station 3 must be centered on the middle trap in the group.
Station 2 is 3 m - 3.30 m to the left of Station 3 and Station 1 is
equidistant to the left of Station 2. Likewise Station 4 is 3 m - 3.30 m
to the right of Station 3 and Station 5 equally 3 m - 3.30 m to the right
of Station 4 (see Figure, Separate Double Trap Range). A sixth
Station must also be marked about 2 m to the rear and slightly to the
left of station 1 where shooter number 6 may take his position at the
start of the competition. All six of the shooting stations must be
furnished with a table or bench where the shooters may place their
extra cartridges and equipment. The stations must be firm and level
in all directions and must be at the same elevation as the front edge
of the roof of the trap pit. Each station (six) must also have a block of

6.3.21.2.7 For Double Trap Finals a medium intensity colored lamp must be
positioned on the left hand side behind Station 1 at a distance of
1.0 m to 1.5 m at a height of 40 cm to 50 cm. The lamp must be
controlled by a system which must be so constructed as to indicate
that for a period of 10 to 12 seconds immediately after the shooter
on Station 5 has shot at a regular target(s) that the microphone on
Station 1 is inoperable.
6.3.21.2.8 3 m to 4 m behind the line of shooting stations a path must be
provided for mandatory use by the shooters moving from station 5
to station 6. Shooters must not pass between the path and the
shooting stations. A wire, rope or other suitable barrier is to be
erected 7 m to 10 m behind the return walkway. No spectators are
to be allowed within this barrier. The Referee and Jury Members
are responsible for enforcing this rule. The shooting stations,
referee's stand and operator's stand should have adequate
protection from sun and rain.

6.7.6 The Classification Jury must supervise the scoring and all work
done in the Classification Office and on the 25 m target line. It
directs how any questionable shots shall be scored, determines
their value, and resolves any questions or scoring protests. The
official final results list must be verified and signed by a Member of
the Classification Jury to confirm its accuracy.
6.7.6.1 When Electronic Scoring Targets are used many of the functions
are undertaken by these machines, however the Classification Jury
must resolve any queries/protests relating to scoring and they must
also conduct the independent check of the top results (6.7.13).
6.7.7 At ISSF Championships the targets of the following events must be
scored in the Classification Office:
6.7.7.1 all Rifle events at 10 m, 50 m and 300 m (paper targets only);
6.7.7.2 all Pistol events at 10 m and 50 m (paper targets only);
6.7.7.3 all Running Target events at 10 m and 50 m (paper targets only);
6.7.7.4 all results in those events or stages which are scored at the
shooting range are considered preliminary results.
6.7.8 All targets for events to be scored in the Classification Office must
be transported in a locked container from the target line to the
Classification Office under suitable security.
6.7.9 Competition targets for events which are scored in the Classification
Office must be numbered and must agree with the scorecard. The
Classification Office is responsible for the correct numbering of the
targets and must verify the targets prior to every event before they
are released to the Chief Range Officer or other range officials.
6.7.10 The Chief Range Officer and the Chief of the Classification Office
are responsible for the quick delivery of targets to the Classification
Office for scoring immediately after they have been fired, so that
there will be no delay in the completion of the results list.
6.7.11 In the Classification Office, the following scoring procedures must
be checked by a second official:
6.7.11.1 determining the value of individual shot;
6.7.11.2 adding shot values or points to be deducted;
6.7.11.3 entries on the main scoreboard;
6.7.11.4 adding the individual series and overall total.
6.7.12 Each official must certify his or her work by initialing the target,
score card or results list.
6.7.13 Independent of the results determination, the Classification Jury
must examine the 10 best individual and the 3 best team results
prior to the publication of the final results list.

The "A" illustration depicts a doubtful shot hole with the outward
scoring gauge in place. The outside edge of the flange is within the
9 ring; therefore the shot is scored a 10.
The "B" illustration depicts a doubtful shot hole with the outward
scoring gauge in place. The outside edge of the flange is lying over
the 9 ring line and into the 8 zone; therefore the shot is scored a 9.
