	Shooting ISSF Cartridge events with repeating air pistols
		Preparation Time and Zeroing: With the cartridge events every competitor had a specialist pistol for each event and it was therefore reasonable to waive the ISSF principle of a practice session preceding the match.
		We do not intend that someone shooting many competitions in the course of a day should be disadvantaged against the person who shoots only one event and therefore it is desirable to permit a short period of zeroing before the commencement of the competition.
		Whenever possible, for 10m Standard and Rapid Air competitions shooters will be allowed about 2 minutes to fire unlimited sighting shots on a precision air pistol firing point (or on a static bank of turning targets at range officers option) before the commencement of the match on the turning target range.
