How many shots does a Junior II shoot in 5-Meter Air Pistol?

• A. 15
• B. 25
• C. 20
• D. 10

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is the fixed match length for a 5-meter air pistol event in the Junior II division. In this level, the standard number of shots is twenty. This amount provides enough opportunities to show consistency and precision without making the competition too long for younger shooters. Each shot is scored up to ten points on the five-meter target, so the total possible score can be as high as two hundred if every shot lands in the ten. The other shot counts would make the match too short or too long for this division, so twenty shots is the typical and appropriate length.
