Earlier this year, the Competitions Department conducted a survey to determine if there wasinterest in Five-Shot Standard Air Pistol.

The eventwill include 40 shots for men and 30 shots for women and is divided into series of five shots, each in ten seconds. In each series, five shots arefired on one stationary Air Pistol target in the time limit for the series.
