Introduction

Air Rifle 

10 metre air rifle is a International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) shooting event, shot over a distance of 10 metres (10.9 yd) from a standing position with a 4.5 mm (0.177 in) calibre air rifle with a maximum weight of 5.5 kg (12.1 lbs). It is one of the ISSF governed shooting events included in the Olympic games.

The course of fire is 60 shots within 105 minutes for men, and 40 shots within 75 minutes for women. During this phase a maximum of 10 points are awarded for each shot. The top eight shooters follow this with a final 10 shots – each scored to a maximum of 10.9 – with the cumulative score determining the winner. The maximum of 10.9 is derived from an additional set of 10 rings within the center 10 point circle, increasing in 0.1 point value as the rings approach the center.
