Shooting Analysing gun muzzle vibration: Calibration system improves olympic shooters' accuracy

摘要

French engineering student Raphael Chevalier has developed a device that helps Olympic prone shooters improve their accuracy by up to 24%. Prone position is the most basic and stable of all rifle shooting positions. Trained shooters often master the prone position first, as it is the one position where all common shooting factors can be isolated and addressed. The 50-metre rifle prone shooting event, also called '60 shots', has been part of the Olympic Games since 1908. In this event, competitors shoot from a distance of 50 metres with a .22 long rifle carbine at a target 15 centimetres in diameter. The goal is to shoot all 60 shots as accurately as possible within the 50-minute time limit. In 2013, Raphael met Olympic shooter Remi Moreno Flores. Remi is a PhD in Sports Science specializing in carbine shooting performance. With so much in common, the two became friends and Remi introduced Raphael to the rest of the Olympic team.
