RF Target Spacing

Can someone point me to the ISSF rule that specifies the exact spacing between each of the five rapid fire targets? I've been pouring over them and just can't find it.

Thanks,
Ted

Refering to section 8.20.9.1, page 431, "10 m Air Pistol Five Target Event," in the 2005 ISSF Rules and Regulations, the spacing is 300.0 mm.

Sorry- should have specified 25m rapid fire. I think it's 0.75 m, but I just can't find the reference for it.

Found it, kind of. It's listed in rule 6.3.17.13 of the Technical Rules (75cm). What makes it confusing is that the 6.3.17 series are the standards for turning target installations, although you'd think this information would be listed under the RF target requirements since the spacing is the same whether it's a turning or stationary set of targets. You'd think they'd have all of the target information for a particular discipline in one place, instead of having the target ring measurements in one place, the heighth in another, and the spacing in a third.

Thanks,
Ted

Yeah, I was just about to post that citation myself. But you're right, they certainly buried it, didn't they!
