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.
- 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.
