10 metre air pistol is an Olympic event. Shooters use a .177 calibre pellet pistol, with top-quality guns costing as much as a .22LR match pistol. Most are powered by compressed air or CO2 and load a single pellet at a time.
Men have up to 105 minutes to fire 60 shots, while women fire 40 shots within a 75 minute limit. In most respects, air pistol is very similar to shooting free pistol in terms of difficulty and rules.
Arnprior only does air pistol on an informal basis at this time with members coordinating times to meet at the range.
