Match description:
25 Meter Pistol Obligatorisch is the qualification that all active Swiss Army service members must shoot annually if they are issued a service pistol (officers, medics, airmen, etc.). The course of fire is at 25m and uses the “Ordonnanz-Schnellfeuerscheibe”, which is identical to the NRA B-18 target. Firing can be done one or two handed. It has four strings of fire, which are:
1. 5 shots of Slow Fire in 5 minutes
2. 5 shots of Sustained Fire in 50 seconds
3. 5 shots of Sustained Fire in 40 seconds
4. 5 shots of Sustained Fire in 30 seconds
for a total of 20 shots and 200 points. Service members pass if they have shot at least a score of 120 points (with no more than 3 zeroes).
This match is open to civilians or foreigners who shoot with a club recognized by one of the official “Schiesswesen ausser Dienst” clubs, including the five official Overseas Clubs in the United States. Competitors who shoot over 170-175 (depending on age) receive a recognition card from the Swiss Army.
