Muzzle-Loading Pistol (25 metres)

Discipline: Pistol

Muzzle-Loading Pistol (25 metres) is a precision shooting event in which competitors fire a series of shots with muzzle-loading pistols at fixed targets over a distance of 25 metres. Final standings are determined by total score, rewarding accuracy, control, and consistency across repeated strings. In the early Olympic era, the event reflected period firearm rules and equipment constraints, making it distinct from later standardized pistol competitions.
