Sight Picture for 50m, Biathlon, Air Rifle

[wrpspddrvr]

Hey there,

I'm a 10m AR shooter. I'm curious as to the sight pictures of other disciplines. Do the 50m .22 targets and biathlon targets appear to be the same size from the firing line? In other words, do the targets appear the same size, though they're bigger and farther away?

Thanks!

Yes, pretty much so. In prone biathlon, the "hit area" is smaller, but the black bull that's painted on the steel is the same. (about the size of a 50 m smallbore target)
So, there's not much, if any, of a change in insert size going from 10m to 50 feet, or 50 meters, or 100 yds/meters for that matter.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe most of these are scaled from the 300m target bull all the way back to 10m
