How many shots does a Senior I have in 10-Meter Air Pistol?

• A. 40
• B. 20
• C. 60
• D. 80

Answer: (A)

In 4-H Shooting Sports, the number of shots in a 10-Meter Air Pistol match is fixed by division, and for Senior I that fixed length is 40 shots. Each shot can score up to 10, so the maximum possible score is 400. This 40-shot format provides enough opportunities to measure consistency without making the event too long for a practice or small competition. The other numbers don’t align with the standard 4-H setup for this division: 20 is too short to fairly assess accuracy, 60 is more typical of full international matches, and 80 would exceed the usual match length for Senior I in 4-H.
