Precision Pistol 10-Second Par Time Timer

READY
Round 1 / 10
00:10
Work: 10s Rest: 20s × 10 rounds

Precision pistol (bullseye) shooting uses timed shot stages: slow fire (10 shots in 10 minutes), timed fire (5 shots in 20 seconds), and rapid fire (5 shots in 10 seconds). The 10-second par time drill replicates the rapid fire string — the most challenging timed stage — with a rest period for scoring analysis and mental reset. Default 10 rounds of 10 seconds equals one complete rapid fire practice set.

Ten seconds for 5 shots (2 seconds per shot) is the rapid fire standard in NRA Bullseye and ISU Precision Pistol competition. Training to this exact time window builds the visual cadence and trigger pacing that transfers directly to competition performance. Unlike USPSA-style speed shooting, bullseye pace is rhythmic — not maximum speed.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What are the timed stages in bullseye pistol?
NRA Bullseye uses three stages: slow fire (10 shots, 10 minutes), timed fire (5 shots, 20 seconds per string), and rapid fire (5 shots, 10 seconds per string). Each stage requires a different skill set — slow fire is about hold and trigger control; rapid fire adds pace and recoil management.
How do I train for the rapid fire stage?
Start with a 20-second par for 5 shots (double the competition time) until groups are consistent, then compress to 15 seconds, then 10 seconds. Focus on rhythm — experienced bullseye shooters develop a consistent 1.8–2.2 second cadence between shots in rapid fire.
What pistol is used for precision pistol competition?
NRA Bullseye requires a .22 pistol (for the .22 stage), a centerfire pistol (.38 Special minimum), and a .45 ACP pistol for the three-gun aggregate. The .45 stage is the most prestigious. Many competitors use dedicated bullseye pistols with custom triggers set to a very light pull weight.
Can I use this timer for air pistol training?
Yes. ISSF 10m Air Pistol allows 60 minutes for 60 shots in qualification, but the 10-second par is useful for training the final pressure of the competition and building consistent shot cadence. See also the Air Pistol Training Timer for full series practice.
