The dimensions of targets used in 10-meter air rifle competition are standardized by international shooting sports governing bodies. These targets feature concentric rings with decreasing point values towards the outer edges. A perfect shot hitting the central ring yields the highest possible score.
Standardized target dimensions ensure fair competition across all levels, from local clubs to international championships. This precision allows athletes to train effectively, develop consistent skills, and accurately measure their progress. The historical development of these standards reflects the ongoing refinement of the sport, emphasizing accuracy and precision.
