Hello,

I was wondering, what is the width of each lane at the otc for air rifle competitions?

thanks!

According to I.S.S.F. rule 6.3.15.1; the width must measure a minimum of 1 metre.

I just walked over and measured the 50 meter firing point lanes and they are exactly 48 inches wide which exceed ISSF requirements.

OP refers to Air Rifle, i.e. 10m ranges (6.3.15.1)
In any case, 6.3.14.2 To allow more shooters to participate in 50 m events, the width of the firing point may be reduced to 1.25 m = 49.21" - 48" is less than the ISSF requirements.

Ditto.

Mike, you mistakenly took 10 m. lanes for 50 m. lanes.

Next fall our air pistol shooters are going to get friendly. I am looking to reduce lanes down to 30 inches. It may not be ISSF legal but other wise I will have to turn a few people away. I will be putting 15 on 12 points. This past weekend I experimented with a full line by temporary sticking in an extra person. No one saw a problem. I can't make the sport grow if I turn people away. I would love to have this problem with 50 m pistol. I may have this problem with sport and center fire since we shoot them together.

OTC 50 meter lanes seemed wider than 48 inches, probably because no one seemed crowded shooting 50 meter rifle.
Locally we find 48" a luxury we can't afford. My home range uses 40" for 3P air rifle.
I am now curious about the width of the OTC air range.

Nope, both air and smallbore rifle lanes are 48" at the OTC.

Well, of course they are if you were there, but the I.S.S.F. rules say otherwise, and in one case it's enough and in the other it isn't.

Just reporting the numbers.
For all, in the recent past (2011) , ISSF has requested and allowed, MQS qualifications on both the Air & SBR ranges at the OTC

I'm not aware of any ISSF events(rifle/pistol) that have ever been held at the CSOTC, let alone as recently as 2011.

The closest thing to an ISSF match that I remember being held at the CSOTC was the 2009 Winter Air Gun Championship, which was also an MQS event for the Youth Olympic Games.
