Shooting at the 1908 Summer Olympics – Men's disappearing target small-bore rifle
The men's disappearing target small-bore rifle was one of 15 events on the Shooting at the 1908 Summer Olympics programme.[1] Regulation of the equipment used in the event was done through allowing the use of .22 or .297/.230 caliber ammunition. The target used was a three-quarter length silhouette, 4 inches high and 1.5 wide. It would appear at a distance of 25 yards for three seconds and then disappear for five until it had been seen a total of 15 times. A hit on the upper two-thirds of the figure counted for 3 points, while any other hit counted for 1. The maximum score was thus 45 points.
