Gun order is rifle first.

 

Each pistol round shot is a miss: hitting the incorrect target is a miss and missing any target is a miss.

 

Then, each rifle shot is a miss for the same reason.

 

Going by the situation proposed where the "shooter mistakenly pulls and shoots his pistols", we are going to assume it was all 10 rounds.

 

That is 110 seconds of penalties: 20 misses (10 pistol misses when the rifle should have been shot, 10 more rifle misses when the pistols should have been shot, plus a P for engaging the stage in the wrong order.

 

SHB page 22.

 

Misses are 5-Second penalties. Revolver, rifle, and shotgun targets must be engaged with 

the appropriate type of firearm. A MISS is defined as the failure to hit the appropriate target 

type using the appropriate type of firearm and includes:

- Each missed target. 

- Each unfired round. 

- Inadvertently left rounds in a revolver are misses, unless there is an unfired 

round under the hammer, in which case it is a Stage DQ. 

- Each target hit with an incorrect firearm – either intentionally or by mistake. 

- Each target hit with illegally acquired ammunition.

 

Procedural (P) infractions include:

- Failure to attempt to fire a firearm, engage a prop, or perform a stage maneuver.

- Shooting targets in the wrong order.

- Engaging the stage in the wrong order.

- Use of illegally acquired ammunition.

- Not returning revolvers to leather (unless otherwise specified).

- First offense in the same match for “shooting out of category.” 

- Firing more rounds than specified in the stage instructions.

 

I don't think there's a P involved...see page 41 SHB miss flow chart. 20 misses , no P....
