Thanks for posting that clip, Clive. I used to kid myself that I was pretty good at the rapid fire, with my three Walther GSPs, one of which was the dedicated RF version, but all I was really doing was playing compared to these folks.

It's actually 4 seconds, believe it or not. That rapid fire pistol lark is a real artform.

nice looking Pardinis

They seem to be the popular choice!

ISSF Rapid fire compeition -

There are three different time limits for the series: 8 seconds, 6 seconds, and 4 seconds. A stage consists of two series of each type, and a full course of fire comprises two such stages, or a total of 60 shots. Since the targets are divided into concentric score zones with 10 being the most central part, the total maximum score is 600.

Yep, but that finals round is all at 4 seconds.

Would love to try it. Nowhere seems to have the 5 target setup. I think we also need more pistol shooters who will shoot one handed and have an interest in it. (I know air pistol shooters shoot one handed, but not too many shoot .22LR)

I've had a couple of precision details this year a both at ECSC & Fermoy with the 22lr, all single handed. I think the reason its not run to much is time limits on the day, trying to get T&P1, Multitarget, etc all done as well.

I guess I'm missing something important in these posts. Are you telling me that you shoot your ISSF pistol competitions using two hands?

One of the most uncomfortable things to hold in two hands is any .22 pistol with a target-style orthopaedic grip. I have to admit that I've never tried to do it.

tac, greatly confused

No, tac. They're talking about other pistol competitions where two hands are used, and complaining that people aren't willing to make the skills jump to shooting ISSF targets one-handed, which is probably quite true. Apart from the clothing and the image, the difficulty of the ISSF shooting sports is one of the big barriers to experienced shots who have gotten a bit comfortable.

Ah, right, thanks for putting me straight there, IWM.

Mind you, nobody ever said ISSF handgun was easy, if it was, it wouldn't be worth doing. I've been competing with great lack of success since 1971, and still have things to learn, even though I'm a coach/instructor - mainly for disabled shooters these days.

Absolutely agreed. It's why I shoot the rifle events.

My idea of rapid fire is a 7m bill drill. Gun (fullbore)loaded and holstered. On the buzzer draw and put 6 rounds into the A zone of IPSC target. if you're good you can get to 2 seconds or below. Now that's real fun. While its not goin to be any good for training it does quickly show up any issues with your draw, indexing onto target, sight alignment and trigger control.
