Handgun Disciplines
Handgun target shooting involves a wide range of disciplines, at target ranges between 10-50M. At Munster Target Shooting club, we provide training and run completions in the following disciplines:
Smallbore Pistol
Smallbore Pistol is for Revolvers and Semi Automatic Pistols chambered for 22lr ammunition
Equipment:
Calibre: | .22LR |
Firearm: | Any semi-automatic pistol or revolver with a capacity of 5 rounds minimum. |
Holster: | Any type of holster which securely holds the firearm. This must be worn on the hip only |
Disciplines
GP40 (Gallery Pistol 40)
This Discipline is deliberately designed to only require 5 rounds per string in order to cater for those with an un-restricted licence for their rimfire pistol, and may therefore have difficulty competing in Timed & Precision Events where there are 6-shot strings.

All disciplines require the competitor to fire shots from a number of distances and from a number of positions including standing, kneeling and sitting. A number of them also require ‘the post’, this is a timber post where the competitor is required to shoot from either side of the post while keeping their feet behind the post.
