10 meter running target is one of the ISSF shooting events, shot with an airgun at a target that moves sideways. The target is pulled across a two meter wide aisle at the range of 10 meters from the firing point. The target is pulled at either of two speeds, slow or fast, where it is visible for 5 or 2.5 seconds, respectively.
Electronic targets are used for all types of sport shooting, from airguns through to large calibre rifle shooting. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Targets may be static, "running" (moving targets on rails, like the ISSF 50 meter running target ) as well as electronic and "reset" knock down targets used by militaries. [ 3 ]
Scoring gauges are tools used in shooting sports to determine the precise position of a bullet hole on a shooting target, and hence its scoring value. There are mainly two types of scoring gauges used for paper and cardboard targets, either the " cone shaped" tool or a transparent overlay.
Side view of handgun point shooting position. Point shooting (also known as target-[1] or threat-focused shooting, [2] intuitive shooting, instinctive shooting, subconscious tactical shooting, or hipfiring) is a practical shooting method where the shooter points a ranged weapon (typically a repeating firearm) at a target without relying on the use of sights to aim.

The American shooter Walter Winans during a 100 meter running deer competition in Wimbledon Common, London (painting by Thomas Blinks, 1888).. Running target shooting refers to a number of target shooting sports and events involving a shooting target—sometimes called a boar, moose, or deer—that is made to move as if it is a running animal.
Trigger pulls are relative, however. Compare a sport like action shooting, which emphasizes speed and uses relatively close targets with large scoring zones on the targets, to bullseye shooting, which uses distant targets with tiny scoring zones. While both types of trigger need a predictable pull, bullseye shooters demand a much higher degree ...
