Which statement correctly describes the time limit for 10-Meter Air Pistol?

• A. The time limit is 30 seconds per shot.
• B. The time limit is 2 minutes per shot.
• C. The time limit varies by class.
• D. The time limit is 1 minute per shot for all classes.

Answer: (D)

Time management is about giving a consistent amount of time to complete each shot. For 10-meter air pistol, the rule gives one minute per shot, and this applies to all classes. That window is long enough to get a proper sight picture, steady the aim, and perform a controlled trigger release without rushing, yet not so long that it removes the sense of pace from competition. The other ideas—30 seconds per shot, or 2 minutes per shot, or time limits that vary by class—don’t match how this discipline is run in this program, which relies on a uniform 60-second limit to keep practice and competition fair and comparable. So the statement describing a one-minute limit per shot for all classes is the correct description.
