Each machine is set in this order
Rule 9.8.2.4:
- Adjust angle to 0°, the straight-forward position.
- Adjust spring tension and height at 10m forward of the front edge of the trap pit to obtain the required elevation and distance. The vertical angle and speed shown for each machine are what was measured on this range when the target reached that height; use them as the starting point and confirm the height at 10 m.
- Adjust to the required angle, measured from directly above the centre of the machine on top of the trap pit roof, using a protractor.
Each trap pit holds 15 machines in five groups of three, aligned with the five shooting stations
Rule 6.4.18.3. This app labels each group of three as a station — the rule text itself calls the row a "Group," not a "Station" (interpretation, not a direct quote).
The setting for each machine is drawn by lot before the Pre-Event Training and the competition, under the supervision of the Jury Chairperson
Rule 9.8.2.1.
