Challenge Shoot information for air pistol shooters      

Air pistols have the same 2 categories as the rifles, they are Novice and Marksman.

Targets:
There are two sets of targets for both Novice and Marksman categories, in both color and black & white. The colors are the same as the current rifle Challenge targets. Scoring is based on the color targets.

The B&W targets are optional -  for those who don't print and shoot color targets or who photo copy your targets. The B&W targets have a standard black 60mm sighting ring, and have been designed for use with iron sights.  Scoring is based on the color target.

Target specifications (for Pellant target program): columns are: ring#, diameter (mm), fill-color, fill-B&W, description

All the AP targets have a standard 60mm "sighting ring."  This ring is about the same diameter as the black bull on the standard NRA/ISSF 10m AP target, which is 59.5mm.  On the color novice target this is the white ring.  On all other targets, it is a black ring. The "black & white" targets were designed to be shot as a standard 10m AP target.  The sighting ring has not been compromised.

Scoring is done as follows:
#1,  +1 Score:          A hit or touch on the center black score ring.
#2,   0 No-Score:     A hit or touch on the orange or white no-score rings.
#3,  -1 Deduction:    Anything outside the orange no-score ring.

On the optional Air Pistol "black & white" targets, the rings are scored the same as the corresponding rings on the color target.

Number of shots for a match:
Novice:        40 shots
Marksman:   60 shots standard, 40 shots optional
       Score and ranking is on total points.
       So a 40/40 will score and rank less than a 41/60.
       Please enter the total number of shots in the comments section.

Posting scores:
As the AP shoot is piggybacking on the current Rifle Challenge shoot, there are a few specifics for the air pistol shooters.  

To indicate you are shooting an air pistol:
1) In the name field after you type you name, type "pistol" - for example:  GaryN (pistol)
2) In the "gun" field; enter "AP" then for the Marksman the number of shots 60 or 40 (Novice is always 40 shots so does not have to be specified), then your gun, then if you use a 2-hand hold (no need to indicate 1-hand)

   examples:
     - novice = AP-P3,  AP-Hurricane-2hand
     - marksman = AP60-IZH46,  AP40-Walther CPM1,  AP60-P3-2hand

In the "score" field for marksman, you must enter your score as xx/90.  The program will not accept xx/60 or xx/40.  

In the "explanation" field, you will enter the actual score/shots fired.  And anything else you want to enter, such as hits and
deductions.

   example:  AP60  15/60  +25 -10  blah...blah...

Remember, this is a weekly match.
