50 meter running target

(Redirected from 50RT)

50 meter running target or 50 meter running boar is an ISSF shooting event, shot with a .22-calibre rifle at a target depicting a boar moving sideways across a 10-meter wide opening. It was devised as a replacement for 100 meter running deer in the 1960s and made its way into the Olympic programme in 1972. Although replaced there by the airgun version, 10 meter running target, in 1992, it still is part of the ISSF World Shooting Championships and continental championships.
