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.
[Link] 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.
[Link] ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules are approved by the ISSF
Administrative Council in accordance with Article [Link] of the
Constitution of the ISSF.
[Link] ISSF Technical and Discipline Rules are subordinate to the
Constitution of the ISSF and the ISSF General Regulations.
[Link] 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
[Link] 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".
[Link] ISSF Rules must be applied at all ISSF Championships.
[Link] 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:
[Link] rules for the preparation and organization of ISSF Championships;
[Link] rules for planning the construction and installation of shooting ranges;
[Link] 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.

6.1.5 Organization and Conduct of ISSF Championships

[Link] An Organizing Committee must be formed in accordance with ISSF
General Regulations Article 3.4.1 and is responsible for the
preparation, administration and conduct of the shooting competitions.
Representative(s) of the ISSF may be invited as technical advisors
without voting rights.
[Link] A Chief Range Officer and appropriate Range Officers; Chief of
Referees and Referees appointed by the Organizing Committee must
be responsible for the technical aspects and conduct of the individual
shooting events.
[Link] A Chief of Classification and appropriate Classification Officers
appointed by the Organizing Committee must be responsible for the
results.
[Link] A Chief of Equipment Control and appropriate Equipment Control
Officers appointed by the Organizing Committee must be responsible
for the Equipment Control.
6.2.0 SAFETY
SAFETY IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE.
6.2.1 ISSF Rules state only specific safety requirements which are required
by the ISSF for use in ISSF Championships. Necessary and special
safety regulations for ranges differ from country to country. For this
reason no details are stated within these Rules. The safety of a
shooting range depends to a large extent on local conditions, so
additional safety rules may be established by the Organizing
Committee. The Organizing Committee must know the principles of
range safety and take the necessary steps to apply them. The
Organizing Committee bears the responsibility for safety. Team
officials and shooters must be advised of any special regulations.
6.2.2 The safety of shooters, range officials and spectators requires
continued and careful attention to gun handling and caution in
moving about the range. Self-discipline is necessary on the part of
all. Where such self-discipline is lacking, it is the duty of range
officials to enforce discipline and the duty of shooters and team
officials to assist in such enforcement.
6.2.3 Ear Protection
Notices must be prominently displayed and hearing protection must be
available for ALL persons in the range area. All shooters and other
persons in the immediate vicinity of the firing line are urged to wear ear
plugs, ear muffs, or similar ear protection. Hearing protection in the form
of ear plugs or muffs (not plain cotton) must be provided for all range
officials whose duties require them to be near the firing line during
shooting (i.e. Register Keepers, Range Officers, Jury Members etc.).
Ear protectors incorporating any type of receiving devices are not
permitted for shooters.

6.3.0 RANGE AND TARGET STANDARDS

6.3.1 General Target Requirements
[Link] Samples of all paper targets (5 of each type) and clay targets (20
Qualification targets and 20 powder filled Finals targets) to be used in
ISSF Championships must be submitted to the ISSF Secretary
General, to verify their conformance with ISSF specifications, at least
six (6) months prior to the start of such Championships (see ISSF
General Regulations Article 3.5.4).
[Link] The quality and dimensions of all targets will be examined again by
the Technical Delegate(s) prior to the beginning of ISSF
Championships. Only targets which are the same as the approved
samples may be used.
[Link] Target paper must be of a non-reflecting color and material so that
the black aiming area (center) is clearly visible under normal light
conditions at the appropriate distances. The target paper and scoring
rings must retain dimensional accuracy under all weather and climatic
conditions. The target paper must register shot holes without
excessive tearing or distortion.
[Link] Inner Tens must be marked, but are for the guidance of shooters and
are scored only to enable ties to be broken in accordance with these
Rules.
[Link] The dimensions of all scoring rings are measured from the outside
edges (outside diameter) of the scoring rings.
[Link] In ISSF Championships only targets with one (1) black aiming area
are permitted, except in the case of the Running Target (see Rule
[Link].2).
[Link] Targets are divided into scoring zones by scoring rings. Shots striking
in a scoring zone receive the number of points designated for that
scoring zone.
[Link] Electronic Scoring Targets
[Link].1 The Electronic Scoring Target system comprises a simulated target with
its own electronic scoring mechanism, a firing point monitor, a printer to
record the shot value and a remote display for spectators. The face of
the target is a white card without scoring rings. In the center is a hole
which is the size of the black portion of the selected target (except the
target according to the Rule [Link] and [Link].2.2).

far as possible, this distance should be the same on all targets.
6.3.5 Range Standards
[Link] General for all Disciplines
[Link].1 The ISSF Technical Delegate(s), in accordance with ISSF General
Regulations Articles 3.4.2, 3.4.3 and 3.4.4, and in co-operation with
the Match Director and range officials appointed by the Organizing
Committee for the different disciplines, must inspect the shooting
ranges and equipment for all ISSF Championships. They may
approve small deviations from specifications in ISSF Rules which do
not conflict with the intent and spirit of ISSF Regulations and Rules,
except that no deviations in shooting distances and target
specifications are allowed. Participating countries or federations
must be notified of all approved deviations prior to the closing date
for entries in the competition.
[Link].2 New outdoor ranges should be constructed in such a way that the
sun is behind the shooter as much as possible during the
competition day.
6.3.6 Common Standards for 300 m, 50 m, 25 m and 10 m Rifle and
Pistol Ranges
[Link] Ranges must have a line of targets and a Firing Line. The firing line
must be parallel to the line of targets. The firing points are located
behind the firing line.

[Link] When viewed from above, the targets must turn in a clockwise
direction to the facing position and in a counterclockwise direction to
the edge-on position (see Figure).
[Link].1 Rotation of Turning Targets

Direction for "facing" movement

Direction for "edging" movement

[Link] In 25 m events, the targets must be placed in:

[Link].1 Groups of five (5), for the Rapid Fire Pistol event;
[Link].2 groups of three (3) (1st, 3rd, and 5th) or groups of four (4) (1st, 2nd,
4th, and 5th) for the 25 m Pistol, 25 m Center Fire Pistol and 25 m
Standard Pistol events. Groups of five (5) may be used, but only
when it is necessary to save an additional relay or save range staff,
but see [Link].
[Link] 25 m ranges must be divided into sections which are composed of
two (2) groups of five (5) targets (each being one bay).
[Link].1 The sections must be separated from each other by suitable
protective walls. Protected walkways should be provided to allow
range staff to get to the target line.
[Link].2 Each Range Section should be capable of being operated centrally
but also may be operated independently.
[Link] The targets in a section must all turn simultaneously. Their
simultaneous turning within the section must be achieved by use of a
mechanism which provides efficient operation and accurate timing.
[Link] The automatic turning and timing device must ensure:
[Link].1 targets remain in the facing position for the specified period of time;
[Link].2 targets return to the edge-on position after the specified time (+0.2
seconds - 0.0 seconds).
[Link] Accurate and consistent timing of both the rotation period and the
period at rest in the facing position must be checked before and
during the competition using one of the following methods:
[Link].1 by placing the stopwatch on the edge of the target to allow the target
movements to start and stop the stop watch;
[Link].2 by using three (3) hand operated stopwatches with the middle
(median) time being accepted;

[Link].3 by using other systems or devices which have been approved by the
ISSF Technical Committee.
[Link] Timing must start the moment the targets begin to face and stop the
moment they begin to turn away.
[Link] 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.
[Link] 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.
[Link] If solid backing boards are used, the center portion of the target
backing boards must be made of cardboard.
[Link] 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).
[Link] Facing times for 25 m pistol events are:
[Link].1 25 m Rapid Fire Pistol 8, 6 and 4 seconds;
[Link].2 25 m Standard Pistol: 150, 20 and 10 seconds;
[Link].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);
[Link].4 for all facing times a tolerance of + 0.2 seconds to - 0.0 seconds is
allowed.
[Link] Standards for 25 m Electronic Scoring Target Systems
[Link].1 When electronic scoring targets are used the timing equipment will
be set to give the nominal exposure times (see [Link]) plus 0.1
seconds (which is half the tolerance given in [Link].2).
[Link].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
[Link] 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."

[Link] 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.
[Link] 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.
[Link] Ranges must be constructed to prevent any person from being
exposed to danger during shooting.
[Link] 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.
[Link].1 The shooting station must be at least 1 m wide and aligned with the
center line of fire according to [Link]. 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.
[Link] In front of the shooter there must be a bench or a table 0.7 m –
0.8 m high.
[Link] 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.
[Link] 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
[Link] 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
[Link]). If the timer is built into the starting control, the timing must
be examined by the Jury and sealed.

[Link] Running Target Ranges

Running Target Ranges

A visible length of target track
B opening of the wall between visible corners
C distance from the target to the visible corner of the wall
D shooting distance
Formula for determining the opening: B = A x (D – C) / D
Example (50 m): B = 10.00 m x (50.00 m - 0.20 m) / 50.00 m
C= 0,20 m B = 10.00 m x 49.80 / 50.00 = 10.00 m x 0.996
B = 9.96 m
Example (10 m): B = 2.00 m x (10.00 m - 0.15 m) / 10.00 m
C= 0,15 m B = 2.00 m x 9.85 / 10.00 = 2.00 m x 0.985
B = 1.97 m

[Link].1 Special Standards for 50 m Running Target Ranges

[Link].1.1 There must be a vertical wall on both sides of the opening for the
protection of operating personnel and scorers.
[Link].1.2 There must be an embankment behind the opening. In front of the
opening there must be a low wall to conceal and protect the target
carrying mechanism.
[Link].1.3 The visible length of the target track must be:
10.00 m (+ 0.05 m / - 0.00 m) as seen from the firing point. This
must be considered when measuring the opening since the distance
between the visible corner of the wall and the target increases the
distance over which the target is visible.
[Link].2 Special Standards for 10 m Running Target Ranges
[Link].2.1 If target changing and shot evaluation is done behind the target
carrier, there must be sufficient protection for operating personnel
and scorers. The target changing and evaluation must be supervised
by a member of the Jury.
[Link].2.2 Behind the opening there must be a backstop to stop pellets and
prevent ricochets. The target carrying mechanism must be
protected by a front cover plate.
[Link].2.3 The visible length of the target track must be:
2.00 m (+ 0.01 m / - 0.00 m) as seen from the firing point. This must
be considered when measuring the opening since the distance
between the visible corner of the wall and the target increases the
distance over which the target is visible.
[Link].2.4 Two shooting stations may be installed and used alternately, to
save time. In this case, the two firing points must not deviate from
the standards in Rule [Link].
[Link].2.5 When electronic scoring targets are used the timing equipment will
be set to give the nominal exposure times (see [Link]) plus 0.1
seconds. This should ensure that the earlier appearance of the
aiming mark of the electronic scoring target is allowed for.
[Link].2.6 Target illumination minimum 1000 lux; General range illumination
minimum 300 lux (see [Link].3 for measuring).

6.3.19 General Standards for Shotgun Ranges

Ranges, which are constructed in the Northern Hemisphere, should
be laid out so shooting is toward a North to North-Easterly direction.
Ranges, which are constructed in the Southern Hemisphere, should
be laid out so shooting is toward a South to South-Easterly direction.
These arrangements place the sun to the back of the shooter as
much as possible during the shooting day.
New shotgun ranges must be constructed, where it is deemed
necessary, with a shot fall zone reasonably level and free of
obstacles to permit mechanical salvage and recovery of the lead
pellets.
[Link] Standards for Trap Ranges
[Link].1 The Trap Pit
The trap pit must be constructed so that the upper surface of the
roof is on the same elevation as the surface of the shooting
stations. Interior measurements of the trap pit should be
approximately 20 m from end to end, 2 m from front to rear, and
2 m to 2.10 m from the floor to the under side of the roof. These
dimensions will allow freedom of movement for working personnel
and sufficient storage space for targets (see Figures).
[Link].2 Distances between Trap Pits
The distance between the center of machine 15 on Range A and
the center of the machine one (1) on Range B must not be less
than 35 m. For pre-existing ranges with a distance less than 35 m,
as specified above, the Jury may reduce the throwing angles of
the settings of machine 13 of Range A, and machine three (3) of
Range B, if necessary, to prevent those targets from crossing over
into the target flight path of the adjoining range and disturbing
those shooters.
[Link] The traps (clay target throwing machines)
Each trap pit must have 15 traps attached to the front wall of the
pit. The traps must be divided into five (5) groups of three (3). The
center of each group must be indicated only by a painted mark on
the top of the roof which must be positioned so that it must
indicate the point above the center trap of each group at which a
target must emerge when set to throw at zero (0) degrees. The
distance between traps within each group must be equal, from
1.00 m to 1.10 m. The distance between the center traps of
adjacent groups should be 3.00 m to 3.30 m. For existing ranges
this may be 3.00 m to 6.00 m.
[Link].1 In the case of use of machines with left-hand (clockwise) rotation
of throwing arms the distance between the left side (viewed from
behind) and the center machine in each group may be reduced to
less than the prescribed 1.00 m to 1.10 m (see also rule [Link]).

[Link] 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.
[Link] 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.
[Link] 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.
[Link].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.

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.

6.3.20 Standards for Automatic Trap Ranges

[Link] The Trap Pit (see Rule [Link].1)
[Link] The Shooting Stations
The shooting stations will be arranged on line measured and drawn at
15 meters to the rear of the trap house, measured from the center of the
front edge of the trap house roof. Station 3 will be centered on a line
drawn through the center of the trap house and perpendicular to the
roof front edge. Stations 1 and 2, and 4 and 5, will be located on the
line, centered on points measured 3.0 – 3.3 and 6.0 – 6.6 meters to the
left and right of the centerline, respectively (see Figure).
[Link] The Trap (clay target throwing machine)
The pit shall be equipped with a single, multi-oscillating (vertical and
horizontal directions) mechanically, or electrically, operated trap. It may
be either manually or automatically loaded. Targets may be released
manually, electrically, or microphone-electrically. The trap will be so
constructed and mounted that it will throw at random, and at
continuously changing angles and elevations, an unbroken target within
the vertical limits of 1.5 m to 3.5 m (+/- 0.1 m) and the horizontal limits
of 30° minimum to 45° maximum (see Figure 9.19.1).

6.3.21 Standards for Double Trap Ranges

[Link] The Trap Pit
Trap ranges are most commonly adapted to Double Trap competition
by using the center group of traps, numbers 7, 8 and 9, directly in
front of Station 3. See Rules [Link].1 and [Link].2 and Figures.
[Link] Distances between Trap Pits
[Link].1 See Rule [Link].2 when Trap pits are used.
[Link].2 When separate Double Trap pits are constructed, see Figures
[Link].9, the distance from the center machine on one field to the
center machine on the adjoining field should not be less than 35 m.
(The angles of targets in Double Trap (see Figure) are not so severe
as Trap therefore do not need reductions.)
[Link].3 The Traps (target throwing machine)
Each Double Trap pit must have three (3) Traps attached to the front
wall of the pit. The center trap of the group must be indicated only by
a painted mark on the top side of the pit roof. The distance between
traps within the group must be equal, from 1.00 m to 1.10 m (see
Rule [Link]). Traps number 1 and number 3 should be a minimum
of 1.50 m from the end walls.

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

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.
[Link].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.
[Link].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
wood, piece of carpet or thick rubber sheet about 15 cm square or
round upon which a shooter may rest his gun.

6.3.22 Standards for Skeet Ranges

[Link] A skeet field consists of two houses (high house and low house) and
eight shooting stations. Stations 1 through 7 are arranged on a
segment of a circle with a 19.2 m radius and a base chord of 36.8 m
(with a tolerance of +/- 0.1 m) which is 5.5 m from the center point of
the circle which is marked by a stake.
[Link].1 The center of the circle is marked by a stake which also marks the
base of the target crossing point.
[Link].2 Station 1 is located at the left end of the base chord and station 7 at
the right end when standing anywhere on the segment of the circle
and facing the center stake. Stations 2 through 6 are located on the
segment of the circle at points equidistant from each other (the exact
distance between the center of the front of the stations 1 and 2, 2
and 3, etc., is 8.13 m on chord). Station 8 is located at the center of
the base chord (see Figure).
[Link] Shooting stations 1 through 7 are 0.9 m +/-0.05 m x 0.9 m +/-0.05 m
square, with two sides parallel to a radius of the circle drawn through
the station marker (center of the station). Shooting station 8 is
rectangular, 0.9 m +/-0.05 m wide by 1.85 m +/-0.05 m long, with its
long sides parallel to the base chord. The location of each shooting
station must be accurately indicated. The markers for shooting
stations 1 through 7 are on the center of the side nearest the target
crossing point. The marker for shooting station 8 is on the center
point of the base chord. All 8 shooting stations must be on the same
level, within +/-0.05 m difference in elevation.
[Link] Target Distances, Angles and Elevations
[Link].1 Each trap house must contain a trap (clay target throwing machine)
in a fixed position.
[Link].2 Targets thrown from the high house must emerge at a point 0.9 m
+/-0.05 m behind the station marker 1 (measured along the extended
base chord) and 3.05 m +/-0.05 m above the level of station 1. The
target thrown from the low house must emerge at a point 0.9 m +/-
0.05 m behind station marker 7 (measured along the extended base
chord) (moved 0.75 m +/-0.05 m to the exterior of the base chord)
and 1.05 m +/-0.05 m above the level of station 7.
[Link].3 Targets properly released must pass through a circle 0.9 m – 0.95 m
in diameter, located 4.60 m +/-0.05 m above the target crossing
point.
[Link].4 In calm weather conditions targets must carry a minimum of 65 m
and a maximum of 67 m as measured from the face of the house
behind stations 1 and 7. If the correct distance cannot be verified by
measurement, the Jury will decide the trajectory of the targets.

[Link] The shooting boundaries of stations 1 to 7 are 40.3 m +/-0.1 m from

the face of each house. For station 8 the shooting boundary is
determined by the crossing point between a straight line running
from station 4 to station 8 and the target crossing point. Suitable
markers must be placed on the target flight path, at points 40.3 m +/-
0.1 m from both the high house and the low house, to indicate the
shooting boundaries. Similar markers must be placed at 65 m and
67 m to indicate the distance of a regular target.
[Link] A safety shield must be installed at the opening of each trap house
so that the trap operator is not visible to a shooter on any station.
This precaution is mandatory as a safety measure to protect the
operator from possible injury from direct or ricocheting shot, and the
shooters from broken targets emerging from the opening of the trap-
house. A wire, rope or other suitable barrier is to be erected 7 m to
10 m behind Station 4 and parallel to the base chord. No spectators
are allowed within this barrier. The Referee and Jury Members are
responsible for enforcing this Rule.
[Link] The traps must be released by an electric-manual or electric-
microphone system (see note below) with a timer device which must
be installed so as to allow the operator to see and hear the
competitors. For all ISSF Championships the use of a timer is
mandatory. This must provide for the release of the targets within an
indefinite period of time, varying from instant release up to a
maximum of three (3) seconds after the shooter has called for his
target. The release device must be designed so that only one (1)
button (or switch) can be used to release double targets.
Note: If an electro-microphone system is to be used, it must be so
constructed as to randomly insert a delay varying from 0.2 to 3.0
seconds.
[Link] A colored lamp must be fitted to the outside of both high and low
houses. The lamps must light immediately when the Puller presses
the release and extinguish when the target(s) are thrown. The lamps
must be clearly visible to the referee. The lamp must be installed on
the side of the skeet house which faces the spectator area at a
height of 2.2 m – 2.8 m on the high house and 1.6 m – 2.0 m on the
low house.

6.4.0 COMPETITION OFFICIALS

6.4.1 At ISSF Championships, juries must be formed in accordance with
ISSF General Regulations Articles 3.4.5 to 3.4.7 to advise, assist
and supervise the competition officials appointed by the Organizing
Committee.
[Link] The Range Officers are responsible for the actual conduct of the
competition while the Jury acts in an advisory and supervisory
capacity. They must cooperate fully together. The Range Officers
and Jury are responsible to the Organizing Committee and to the
ISSF, respectively, for the conduct of the competitions in
accordance with ISSF Regulations and Rules.
[Link] All Range Officers and Members of the Jury must be familiar with
the ISSF Rules and they must ensure that these Rules are enforced
in a fair and equitable manner during the competitions.
[Link] Members of the Jury have the right to make individual decisions
during the competitions, but should confer with other Jury Members
and Range Officers when any doubt exists. If a Team Official or
Shooter does not agree with a decision of an individual Jury
Member, a decision of the majority of the Jury may be sought by
making a written protest.
[Link] When a written protest is made it must be decided by a majority of
the Jury. When a team official or shooter does not agree with such
a Jury decision, he may appeal that decision to the Jury of Appeal.
Decisions of the Jury of Appeal are final in all ISSF Championships.
Decisions by the Classification Jury on the value or the number of
shots on a target are final and may not be appealed.
6.4.2 Duties and Functions of the Jury
[Link] Before the beginning of the competition, each discipline Jury must
examine the shooting ranges and check the organizational
arrangements and organization of operating personnel, etc., to
ensure that they conform to ISSF Rules. This is independent of an
earlier check by the Technical Delegate.
[Link] When electronic scoring targets are used, targets must be checked
for functioning and accuracy by the Technical Delegate (this may be
delegated by the TD to the appropriate Jury).
[Link] The Juries must supervise the examination of the guns, equipment,
and accessories, and continuously observe the shooting positions of
the shooters.
[Link] The Juries have the right to examine the guns, equipment,
positions, etc., of the shooters at any time, even during the
competitions. During the competition, their approach should not be
made while the shooter is firing a shot (or series of shots in timed
fire events). Immediate action must, however be taken when a
matter of safety is involved.

[Link] The Jury must supervise target distribution, the allocation of firing
points and shooting time schedules.
[Link] The Jury must deal with any protest(s) which have been submitted
to the Organizing Committee in accordance with the ISSF
Regulations and Rules. After consultation with the Range Officers
and others directly concerned the Jury shall rule on the protest(s).
[Link] A majority of the Jury must always be present on the range during a
competition so that, if necessary, a Jury meeting can be called and
decisions made immediately. The Chairman of the Jury must ensure
the presence of sufficient members of the Jury at all times including
during Official and Pre-Event Training.
6.4.3 The Jury must decide all cases which are not provided for in the
ISSF Regulations and Rules. Such decisions must be made within
the spirit and intent of the ISSF Regulations and Rules. Any such
decisions must be put into writing and sent to the ISSF Secretariat
so that necessary rules may be clarified or changed.
6.4.4 Shooters and Team Officials must not be members of a Jury. Jury
Members must not advise or assist shooters beyond the scope of
the ISSF Rules at any time during the competition.
6.5.0 PRE-MATCH ADMINISTRATION
(Firing Point Allocation and Elimination Matches)
6.5.1 National Federations must submit final entries with the names of the
shooters for individual and/or team events to the Organizing
Committee at least 30 days in advance of the championships. The
first and second substitute must be registered with the organizing
Committee at least two (2) days before the start of the event (see
ISSF General Regulations Article [Link]).
6.5.2 Shooters and Team Officials must be informed of the exact shooting
time schedules and allocated firing points no later than 18:00 hours
on the day preceding the competition. This rule also applies for
training (for shotgun see [Link]).
6.5.3 If it should become necessary to change the shooting schedule, the
shooters must be informed no later than 18:00 hours on the day
preceding the competition or the training. This rule also applies in
case of Elimination stages (for shotgun see [Link] and [Link]).
6.5.4 If a shooter has fired his first sighting shot in the competition and
must withdraw, he may not be replaced. This rule also applies for
competitions composed of several parts or carried out over several
days.

6.5.5 Basic principles for firing point allocation

[Link] Individual shooters and teams (nations) should be able to shoot
under conditions that are as near to equal as possible.
[Link].1 Shooters from the same nation should not be allocated adjacent firing
position.
[Link].2 Shooters from the same nation should be split as equitably as possible
between relays.
[Link] The random allocation of shooters to firing points and relays may be
done either by the drawing of the lots or with a computer program
suited to this purpose, under supervision of the Technical
Delegate(s).
[Link].1 If more than one relay is used in team competitions, then team
members must be distributed equitably between the relays.
6.5.6 In the Shotgun events the random selection of ranges and the
division of the rounds may be done either by the drawing of lots or
with a computer program suited for the purpose under the
supervision of the Technical Delegate(s) (see also [Link] and
9.6.5).
6.5.7 Training
[Link] Official Training
Official Training must be provided the day following the official
arrival day and before the beginning of the competitions (see Article
3.7.10 of the ISSF General Regulations and Annex “C” for ISSF
World Cups).
[Link] Pre-Event Training
For Rifle, Pistol and Running Target the range must be available; a
minimum of one (1) hour for a short training period on the day
before the event. This is in addition to the official training day(s) in
the program (for the Shotgun see [Link]).
[Link] Unofficial Training
In addition to the Official Training provided for in the General
Regulations before the beginning of the competitions (see Article
3.7.10 of the ISSF General Regulations), shooters should be given
the opportunity to train during the competitions, insofar as this is
possible from the organizational point of view.
[Link] A specially designated function firing range, without targets, must
be provided for shooters to test guns during competition days.

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.
[Link] 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:
[Link] all Rifle events at 10 m, 50 m and 300 m (paper targets only);
[Link] all Pistol events at 10 m and 50 m (paper targets only);
[Link] all Running Target events at 10 m and 50 m (paper targets only);
[Link] 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:
[Link] determining the value of individual shot;
[Link] adding shot values or points to be deducted;
[Link] entries on the main scoreboard;
[Link] 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.

6.7.14 Value of Shots

All bullet holes are scored according to the highest value of the
target scoring zone or ring that is touched by that bullet hole. If any
part of a scoring ring (demarcation line between the scoring zones)
is touched by the bullet, the shot must be scored the higher value of
the two scoring zones. Such a hit is determined by whether the
bullet hole or a plug gauge inserted in the hole touches any part of
the outside edge of the scoring ring.
[Link] An exception to this Rule is the scoring of inner tens on the air rifle
target (see [Link]).
[Link] Shots in dispute must be determined as to value by means of a
gauge or other device which has been approved by the ISSF
Technical Delegate for accuracy. Gauges must always be inserted
into the shot hole with the target in the horizontal position.
[Link] When the accurate use of the plug gauge is made difficult by the
close proximity of another bullet hole, the shot value must be
determined by means of an engraved gauge of some flat,
transparent material, to aid in reconstructing the position of a
scoring ring or number of bullet holes which may overlap.
[Link] If two scoring officials do not agree on the value of a shot, a
decision from the Jury must be requested immediately.
[Link] The plug gauge may be inserted only once in any bullet hole and
only by a Jury Member. For this reason the use of a gauge must be
marked on the target by the scoring officials, together with their
initials, and showing the result.
[Link] Hits outside the scoring rings of the shooter's own target are scored
as misses.
[Link] Decisions by the Classification Jury on value or number of shots on
a target are final and may not be appealed.
6.7.15 Gauges for paper targets
For scoring doubtful shot holes, plug gauges of the following
dimensions must be used:
[Link] 25 m Center Fire Pistol
Measuring edge diameter: 9.65 mm (+ 0.05/-0.00 mm)
Edge thickness: 0.50 mm approximately
Spindle diameter: According to caliber being scored
Spindle length: 10 mm to 15 mm
To be used for: Center Fire Pistol Events

format as possible so that spectators and athletes can see them
