What do you think they should use for paper target punching in a public setting? .338LM? .44mag? Air pistol and rifle are literally the only thing that make sense for olympic target shooting
>low backstop requirement so the competitions can take place where the olympics does, in cities.
>tiny .177" projectile is objectively better for scoring purposes
>low noise so the entire stadium of people doesn't have to wear ear pro
>extremely consistent because there are no grain size/number/quality variables
When the rings are this close together, nothing bigger or more powerful even makes sense. If you want to shoot firearms competitively, there are plenty of leagues to join.
