The air pistol and air rifle are separate events for men and women. All competitors use 0.177 calibre pistols or rifles to fire lead pellets at a target placed 10 meters away. The bulls eye on the target measures 0.45 inches. Each competition consists of a match and a final. Using their specialised guns male shooters take 60 shots in one hour 45 minutes while female shooters are allowed one hour 15 minutes to complete 40 shots. This stage of the competition is known as the match. A perfect match score is 600 for men and 400 for women, with 10 points awarded every time the bulls eye is hit. Any score above 565 for men, or 370 for women, is regarded as world-class. To reach a final a competitor must finish amongst the top eight competitors at the end of the match. They will then advance to a 10-shot final with 75 seconds allowed for each shot. The final score is added to the match score to determine the medalists. The maximum score possible in the final is 109 points.
