Is there a particular reason they use air rifles, and why the target distance is so close? Not that it's not impressive or whatever, but how did those conditions get decided on? I feel it would be pretty cool to see a similar sport but with real firearms and longer target distances.
There's something so elegant about the stance olympic air rifle shooters take
Shame the actual medal ceremony isn’t in the video

yea right, they use rifle but just 10m, archery seems more skillful
not all the countries allow citizens to own real guns, this is the sports for such countries
U have a 50m and 300m shooting as well
The Olympic standards are 10m, 25m and 50. The latter are shot with a 22.
i presume you're american?
this is a sport?
