What NRA rules are followed in the .22 Caliber Conventional Pistol event?

• A. NRA Pistol Rules #16500
• B. NRA Rifle Rules #R 16460
• C. NRA Small Arms Rules #SA 170
• D. NRA Pistol Rules #16650

Answer: (D)

In NRA shooting, each event follows a specific rulebook, and the .22 Caliber Conventional Pistol event uses the NRA Pistol Rules that cover conventional pistol competition. These pistol rules define the match format, what equipment is allowed, how targets are scored, and the safety procedures for this discipline. That focus on pistol-specific requirements is why this rule set is the one that governs the event. The rifle rules and the small-arms rules apply to different disciplines, so they don’t set the guidelines for this pistol event.
