The rapid fire match is also one of the older matches, but is still very popular, including being one of the shooting disciplines in Olympics and Commonwealth Games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The match is shot using semi-automatic rimfire (22LR) pistols on five turning targets, spaced 75cm apart. The match consists of four series of five shots each in 8 seconds, 6 seconds and 4 seconds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course of fire includes 60 shot across multiple stages. The shooter must wait with the shooting arm at 45 degrees until the targets start to turn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rapid fire handguns are the same as Standard Pistols<\/a>. When the handgun is raised to the shooting position, it must point and recover from recoil with a minimum of effort, as the shooter has little time to make corrections in the faster time series. Well fitting orthopaedic grips, adjustable triggers and reliable functioning are characteristics of a good Rapid Fire handgun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
