- What happens between the call to the line and the last shot?Athletes are called to the line at least 25 minutes before the start.
- What makes a legal rifle position?A rifle is shot from three positions, each defined by what may touch the ground and what may support the rifle.
Finals and ties
- How does the 50 m rifle three positions final work?The final is up to 35 shots in decimals from zero.
- What happens when two athletes have the same score?In qualification a tie is broken on paper with no extra shooting: first by the number of inner tens, then by the last ten-shot series and the ones before it, then shot by shot from the last.
