Distance of 10 meter range

I can't find an official diagram of olympic 10 meter range. Where is the table, rifle stand, shooters position, etc.

I would think there is a line that the muzzle of the gun could not cross. This would allow for all body types and arm lengths.

Generally our range, and we shoot national matches there, the distance is from the range side of the table, we will call that end the front, to the target. Or standing, it's from the line on the floor to the target. Your body can't cross the line, but most muzzles will, shooting off the bench or standing. The front of the bench aligns with the yellow shooting line on the floor.

Thats how it was with 3 gun and cowboy action, there was a line the foot could not cross. Benchrest as well, front of the table was the line so to speak.

I know it's probably obvious...but not for me apparently

It takes more than a long barrel to win.I know it's probably obvious...but not for me apparently

The official rules can be found on the Issf website. But yeah basically the foot can’t cross.

I assume it is like playing darts, the line your foot can not cross, but you actually throw from a shorter distance as most lean forward a little.
Back in the day i was at a comp with my team, and there was 2 other players with really funny ways of throwing.
The one guy was leaning forward so much he shot standing on one leg as his other leg was sticking out back for leverage, the other guy while he was a R handed shooter, well he pulled back not to the "eye" as a normal player would but more like to his lower Left rib, and so dident really aim at all.
Mind you both actually played OK, but they was of course creamed by my team, which had one guy that later went on to be one of the top 3 players in the country, though at the time i could match the guy.
Mind you our team from the youth center, very few others from other youth centers could beat us, even if i always play like 20 % worse in competition.
Back then most of us rarely threw a 180.

Correct answer.
According to ISSF design parameters your forward foot will be at 10m. Airgun has its design parameters as well. No one has a "length" advantage

I understand somewhat, the forward foot at 10 meters. But if the guns muzzle is a foot or more in front of said foot line? Is it still truly 10 meters to the target? Seems to me it would be a line the muzzle of any competitors gun “couldn’t“ cross.
