Only targets which are in conformity with the IBU Material Catalogue
(Annex A) may be used for IBU competitions. A shooting range for OWG,
WCH, Y/JWCH, WC, OEC U26 and IBU Cup competitions must have at
least 30
shooting lanes and targets. The targets used for OWG, WCH and WC must
have a remote reset capability (without rope).
3.4.4.1 The same type of targets must be used for all competitors in one
competition.
3.4.4.2 Target Maintenance
Targets must be maintained, set and adjusted according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
3.4.4.3 Target Placement
The targets must be set up in a level straight line, parallel to the
front edge of the shooting ramp. They must be level in all directions.
The targets must be placed so that the
target is in the middle of the width of the lane. The targets must not
deviate sideways more than 1 degree from the right angle lines of their
shooting lanes. The target center must be 80 to 100 cm higher than
the surface of the shooting ramp.
3.4.4.4 Target Background
The background behind the targets must be white from the bottom
of the target to1m above the upper edge of the target.
3.4.5 Numbering and Markings
The shooting lanes and the corresponding targets must each have the same
number, easily visible, and beginning from the right with number 1.
At OWG, WCH, Y/JWCH and WC competitions the shooting lanes
must be numbered on the left and right side at the front edge of the
shooting ramp. The numbers at the shooting ramp must be placed so
that they do not obstruct TV coverage of the shooting competitors. They
must be 20 cm high and the lines of the numbers 3 cm in width,
mounted on a support post 1 cm thick and 40 cm high – measured from the
snow surface to the bottom of the number plate. The overall size of the
number sign is specified in the IBU Rules for Advertising. The size of the
target numbers shall be 40 cm high with a line width of 4 cm and they
must be
mounted immediately above the targets.
Both the target and firing point number signs must be in
alternating colors – black on yellow and yellow on black – starting
at number 1 with black on yellow and matching the t-post lane markers.
3.4.5.1 Entrance and Exit Boundaries
At the entrance and exit of the range, 10 m outward from the left
and right hand shooting lanes, there must be a clear marking. These
markings shall indicate the outer edges of the information prohibition
zone of the range.
3.4.6 Wind Flags
At competitions and official training, wind flags must be installed at
the side of every second shooting lane beginning at the right side of
lane 1, at 5 m from the shooting ramp and 20 m from the target.
The flags must be placed so that the top edge of the flag is at the
same level as the bottom edge of the targets and can not obstruct
a direct line of sight to the targets.
3.4.7 Relay Cups
At each firing point there can be a cup for spare rounds placed 1 m
above the ground. The cups must have rounded bottoms and must
facilitate the easy picking-up of the spare rounds.

must be racks for two reserve rifles for each participating team
