50 Foot ISSF standard target heights for kneeling and prone

[bdutton]

I need to know the correct height I should adjust my targets for the kneeling and prone positions at 50 feet.

We use the CMP rules as they are based on the ISSF Rules:

6.3.4 Target Heights
Targets must be placed so that the target center or the center point of the record
bulls is 0.75 m (+/- 0.50 m)( 30 in. +/- 20 in.) above the level of the firing point.
Target heights to the center point of the targets in 50-foot ranges should be 32
inches for the kneeling position, 20 inches for the prone position and 55 inches
for the standing position.

If you ever go to an NCAA match, they "begin" at the CMP heights, but the shooters are allowed to bump the targets a bit from the nominal point.
At least on the Megalink targets that many use. This is noted in the match setup as "Lift Adjust"

I think this is a very fair accommodation to very short of very tall competitors. The first time you see a (especially standing)line you think whoever set those targets was wonky, but then comparing them to the associated shooters you go "cool!"
