50 meter running target

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