Olympic Sports Specifications

No I am not an Olympic class shooter, however I would like to find the exact target/distance specifications used in the games for practice.

Anyone know where I could get this information, and possibly some official sized targets?

Here's the link to the International Pistol Rule book at the NRA website. The NRA still oversees International matches in the U.S.

There is a section that describes the various targets. You should be able to get them through Gil Hebard's Guns. He has the best prices that I've found and his shipping charges are very, very reasonable.

The International Rifle book is also available at the NRA website.

USA Shooting is the governing body for Olympic competition in America.

The target specs and rules can be found here.

Targets can be found at Speedwell.
