Fucked up elbow guy got 2/5

>>28314575

well why don't you give it a shot and tell us how it is

There is a time constraint, they shoot offhand, the target is big looking but the hit zone is 4.5".

A series (or string) consists of five shots fired at one target each within a limited time. The targets stand next to each other at a 25 m distance from the shooter. As with all ISSF pistol disciplines, all firing must be done with one unsupported hand. When the targets appear or when the green light comes on, the competitor must raise his arm from a 45 degree angle starting position and fire his five shots. If a shot is too late, it will score as a miss.

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.

its harder then it looks like.
i am a alright shot but 27yards 1handed

>>28314634

offhand meaning one handed with no support you retard

>>28314649
That's not what off hand means though...

Okay, that explains it. Thanks.

ITT: Murica claims to be best at shooting but can't even comprehend an olympic shooting event. Inb4: look at muh gunslinger video, guys who would not even stand a chance at olympic shooting events.

>>28314653
>>28314656

yes it does, just because the only type of shooting you know is what Tactical Buck Angel tells you doesn't change the definition.

go ahead and google "shooting pistol offhand" for me.

>>28314708
And most of those people wouldn't stand a chance at practical style shooting against any top competitors. That shit looks retarded next to IPSC type events.

And they wonder why their ratings are shit. Try fucking 100 yards like most people do here in America you retards.

is dis nigga srs

congrats, you're a reverse fudd.

>>28314752
Why would I be shooting some fucking 22lr for 100 yards?

>>28314752
To be fair, Olympic shooting if there were some long distance rifle. .22lr only is only so cool.

Imagine watching an Olympic Mad-Minute match. That'd be fucking awesome.

Indeed, maybe if they were shooting .357mag then at least it would be more relevant to anything actually shooting or gun related.
These aren't even real guns, they've got like electronic triggers and and zero recoil. Pretty sure getting shot with one wouldn't even hurt.

Rating? Their special /k/ rating? Buck Yeager approval rating?

Yes its simple but its doing one thing really really well that is the challenging part. Trying to not fuck up in the competition.

Most gun clubs have a ISSF night or event why don't you give it a try.

>>28314760
22lr is the only thing allowed, since most countries can't get any more than that

so yeah, you're wrong. how old are you and how long have you been interested in guns and shooting?

Honestly,

I wish they would have a competition like this but where each shooter had to shoot each of a selection of commercially available carry guns.

>midsize polymer 9mm competition where each shooter shoots one round with HK vp9, Glock19, CZ, M&P and a Hi Point.

>pocket 9mm competition where each shoots shoots one round with a Kimber Solo, Sig 938 etc..

I would pay to watch that shit and it would ad to the endless arguments on /k/ about what gun is better.

>>28314728
youre the one who originlly made the gunslinger comment, so what the fuck is YOUR point?

>>28314575
this whole competition is retarded. I get that it is difficult, but it seems childish.

>ok you can shoot, but only with one hand!
>teehee, now do it with your right eye closed!
>now hop on one foot!

They just add shit to make it more difficult, as opposed to just letting them shoot in a practical way at more challenging targets.
fucking why?

>>28314875
You're just linking more unaccredited forums with no more credibility than this thread right here.
Your posts are off handed. You haven't supported your argument. You continue to be wrong.

Because guns are evil and we need to neuter in to the most unoffensive thing we can come up with so that it does not relate in any way but name to actual firearms.

Viewership has been slipping, between them cutting out classic events like wrestling and severely fracturing coverage of events with horseshit commentary and commercial breaks. And everyone is tired of the under the table bollocks that the IOC is gaining notoriety for. Mainly people watch for gymnasts looking fit as fuck, or to see a person injure themselves in track and field.

Olympic riflery used to be at longer ranges with the nations' service rifles. Shit was sweet for a while, then noguns Euro Disney rules took hold and slowly started ruining everything.

They want to replace .22s with laser rifles for fuck's sake. Why would you just take all of the challenge inherent in ballistics out of the picture?

IOC is out of touch and their corruption bucks can only carry their reputation for watering things down and leaving behind ghost cities so far.

Oh man, a rifle competition where the brits have to use the L85, the Americans the m16 etc... That would be widely entertaining.

but yeah, you're spot on. Judges make deal, "You vote for my guy, I'll vote for yours." The sports are too dissimilar from their real world counterparts. The whole thing is not really interesting anymore.

>>28314951
>>IOC controls individual sports' federations
Uh, yes, that's kind of what happens in events that are kept on the roster as part of the Olympics. We're discussing Olympic shooting sports. Not in the broader picture of the ISSF. Context clues, bud.

>>28314575
They aren't scored on simply hitting the target, but by how close to the middle they hit. I hope that when you practice with a pistol you don't simply try to hit somewhere on the target.

>>28314958

>shooting, a points-based sport with little to no competitor to competitor interaction

>>28314958

What makes you think there is voting in an objective scoring system?

"Off hand" with the space depending on context means different things vs the compound word "offhand" which means "unsupported" regardless of context.

He uses a double joint to create a rigid shooting platform and thus only has to account for horizontal positioning when aiming. Atleast, thats the best I could try to hope and deduce from this silly photo. Watching those comps are cool though.

I agree, faggots using 22LR are a joke.

There is no excuse to not use a full power center-fire round.

22lr is use for Olympic biathlon

>>28316499

If they could choose, most of these shooters would use 22 short instead of 22LR. 25m rapid fire isn't about "muh stoppin power".
