Cuba's Leuris Pupo wins the gold medal with a score of 30 in the final of the men's 25m rapid fire pistol shooting event at the London 2012 Olympic Games (3 August).
India's Vijay Kumar won silver in the event with China's Feng Ding claiming bronze.
From just five shooting events at the inaugural 1896 Olympic Games to today there are 15 events in the Olympic programme, divided into three different groups: rifle, pistol and shotgun. The rifle and pistol competitions are held on shooting ranges, where marksmen aim at targets at distances of 10, 25 and 50 metres. In the shotgun event, competitors shoot at clay targets propelled at a series of different directions and angles.

these guys are placed 25 meters or 82 feet away from 5 targets with a 10 cm diameter . They also are given only 4 seconds to shot all 5 targets. Some people couldn't even make 1 of the 5 shots let alone shot 5 back to back hits. These guys are some of the most skilled marks men on the planet with almost inhuman steadiness and lets not forget muscle memory. If you cant recognize what these guys do as impressive you truly do know nothing marksmanship.

well done my son vijay kumar

[@523Preston]

1. Do they have to stand in that position? 2. Are they only allowed to shoot with one eye open? 3. How big is the target zone that they have to hit?

[@Pseudotaxus34]

Yes They have both eyes open (or at least i think they do) the plastic things above their non-shooting eye cover up vision for that eye so they don't have to waste effort on closing it (it's a big deal) 10 cm (less than a foot) from 25 metres (about 82 feet)

[@Nylok4601]

Pseudotaxus34 I don't entirely understand this, wouldn't you want as much visual info as possible for enhanced tracking coordination and small compensations? I ask because I come from a skeet shooting background where you always shoot with both eyes open for the reasons I mentioned. This type of shooting here is a world I don't know too much about.

[@Pseudotaxus34]

Nylok4601 I used to shoot .22 caliber rifles, and because the target is pretty non-moving while you are looking down sights, you end up seeing the perspective of both the eye that is looking down the sights and the eye that is to the side of the sights, and your focus can drift from the actual target. Closing your eye strains muscles, so they have this little plastic thing so that they can only see a straight line from eye to sights to target. Unlike skeet/trap, there is no need for enhanced tracking coordination (and compensation) because the target does not move. Does this help? EDIT: The only visual info you need is the perspective of the one eye looking down sights.

[@Nylok4601]

Ahh gotcha, so using both would be a little extra effort for no real benefit. Makes sense, thanks!

[@joshd2013]

Is being able to hit a tennis ball size target at 25m with a pistol that hard because its really easy with a 22 with open sights but I've never shot a pistol so I assume that a much shorter barrel really effects the accuracy to the point that this is an excellent achievement

25m Rapid Fire Piston is only one event in entire conglomerate of Olympic shooting sports.. Over the years, many different shooting events have been taken out and others reinstated. It happens in the Olympics. Shooting does not use the same facilities as most of the other sports and does not effect other sports at all. So why does it matter?
