PONY CLUB TETRATHLON (PC TET)

Tetrathlon is a challenging competition for boys and girls organised by the Pony Club. The “Tetrathletes” score points for shooting, running, swimming and horse riding over a cross country course. They shoot turning targets at a range of 7 or 10 meters depending on age.

Choosing an Air Pistol:

There are a wide choice of air pistols on the market making selecting the right one difficult.

The Rules Pony Club for Tetrathlon restrict which type of air pistol can be used to:

• Barrel Calibre of 4.5 mm (.177)
• Single shot (i.e. no magazine for loading multiple pellets)
• Open sights only. No optics, laser or optical enhancements allowed.
• Pistol must fit in a box 420 x 200 x 50 mm – this is the same as Pentathlon and ISSF 10m shooting.
• Can be powered by Spirng, Pneumatically, Compressed Air or CO2 provided a firearms certificate is not required. This means the air pistol produces less than 6 ft/lbs of energy measured at the muzzle.
