The Sauer pistol rest is a simple but extremely effective accessory for air pistol and free pistol shooters who want to reduce fatigue and stay consistent during long training sessions or competitions.

Mounted on the bench, it provides a safe, stable place to rest the pistol between shots, allowing the shooting arm and shoulder to relax without breaking position or rhythm. This is especially valuable in precision disciplines where unnecessary tension builds up quickly.

From a rules perspective, it fits well within International Shooting Sport Federation regulations. ISSF Rule 6.4.11.10 allows support stands on the firing point as long as total table height does not exceed 1.00 m, making this type of pistol rest a legal and practical solution for both qualification and finals when correctly set up.

Build quality is what you expect from Sauer Shooting-Sportswear —solid, stable, and designed for serious competition use rather than casual range shooting.

Why it works

• Reduces arm and shoulder fatigue
• Helps maintain focus and rhythm between shots
• Ideal for long air pistol and free pistol sessions
• Fully compatible with ISSF firing point rules

Verdict

If you shoot air pistol or free pistol regularly, this is one of those accessories you quickly grow attached to. It doesn’t improve scores directly—but by helping you recover between shots, it supports better execution over the full match. A small addition with a big impact on comfort and consistency.
