Totally sucks that the Free Pistol event has been dropped from the Olympics and ISSF World Cup competitions. Like 300m rifle was dropped in the past, and other events like the original Running Boar. But, times change. I love FP, own a couple of vintage pistols, and shoot them informally at my local range ... still, sad to see the "king of precision pistol competitions" come to close. RIP FP.
Does anybody can explain to me WHY this beautiful shooting discipline (told to be "king" pistol discipline) was excluded from Olympics? Such a shame....

es una pena y una vergüenza que pistola libre ya no sea una modalidad olímpica. La issf no ha luchado por mantenerla en el programa olímpico.
no more 50 freepistol blame abhinab bindra.
The ISSF is at heart an anti-shooting sport organisation
