Bullseye shooting—nra conventional outdoor pistol |

What is NRA Convertional Outdoor Pistol? A Definition From the Bullseye-L FAQ:
1.1 What is bullseye?The word "bullseye" is a colloquialism for the sport of conventional pistol shooting in the United States. The term comes from the shape of the targets used in this sport. Conventional pistol events are fired on a target with concentric scoring rings. The centermost rings are blacked in, so that the target looks like a "bull's eye" - a large black dot in the middle of the paper. In this document, the term "bullseye" will be used to refer to the conventional pistol events ... Bullseye events focus primarily on accuracy. Competitors fire from a standing position, using only one hand. Matches consist of slow fire, timed fire and rapid fire stages fired over relatively long distances. A slow fire target consists of ten shots fired in ten minutes. In timed fire, the target starts edge-on to the competitor, so the shooter cannot see the target face. |

An excellent target shooting message board run by one of the great vendors in the sport. Not a Bullseye site, but an excellent resource. |

My first “target” handgun was a Colt .45, purchased in 1993 when I received my NJ Firearms ID card. I started shooting in formal Bullseye competition in 2001, shortly after receiving my New York Pistol Permit. That’s right sports fans, I went through the process in both NY and NJ! For those of you that live in the Northeast, you know what a hassle it can be. For those of you that don’t have to deal with onerous firearms legislation, be thankful and support the NRA. I am returning to the sport after a series of personal and professional challenges (okay, disasters!). I’ll be logging my progress in these pages; hopefully, someone will find this information useful. The links to the left will guide you to pages that provide an overview of my current battery, a little background information and an ongoing Training Log. The Log is in two parts, spread across multiple pages. The Training Log pages will be used to highlight troubleshooting efforts, gun modifications, and other specific items of interest. The Bullseye Blog will contain a diary of training activities and Match performances. |

After a series of range commands ("ready on the right, ready on the left, ready on the firing line") the target rotates 90° to face the shooter. The target is exposed for twenty seconds, during which the shooter fires five rounds. After twenty seconds the target rotates again to face away from the shooter. The process is repeated for the second string of five shots, after which the targets are scored and replaced or repaired. The process for rapid fire is the same as for timed fire, except the target is exposed for only ten seconds per string. |
