Posted in: Olympic air rifles turning heads with futuristic looks See in context

Here are some useful details to put things into perspective. The bullseye at 10m is the size of the period "." at the end of a sentence. The rifles weigh a few kilograms and the shooters need to fire 100's of rounds in a match and the difference between gold and not medaling is less than 10mm. That is 10mm in variation from ALL shots fired during the entire match. Stand up and hold a water bottle out at arms length and then point at the period at the end of a sentence 10m away. If you miss the bullseye by more than 1mm a few times then you've lost the match. The shooters are fit because then need to keep bone-bone contact for stability and they will slow their breathing for each shot.
