World Cup Final
The World Cup Final in rifle and pistol is often, but not always, held in Munich in the end of August. The location and date of the World Cup Final in shotgun are more flexible. To the Final, the following shooters are qualified:
- The last Olympic or World champion.
- The last World Cup Final winner.
- The eight shooters that have made the best performances at a single World Cup competition during the year. For rating the performances, a special score system is used, where both the rank achieved in the competition and the score in the qualification round count.

“The world is a beautiful book, but of little use to him who cannot read it.”
—Carlo Goldoni (1707–1793)
“Sunday morning may be cheery enough, with its extra cup of coffee and litter of Sunday newspapers, but there is always hanging over it the ominous threat of 3 P.M., when the sun gets around to the back windows and life stops dead in its tracks.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Sadism and masochism, in Freud’s final formulation, are fusions of Eros and the destructive instincts. Sadism represents a fusion of the erotic instincts and the destructive instincts directed outwards, in which the destructiveness has the character of aggressiveness. Masochism represents the fusion of the erotic instincts and the destructive instincts turned against oneself, the aim of the latter being self-destruction.”
—Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
