Notes

Single-shot loading-tray rifle conforming to the ISSF 8.0 N maximum trigger and 5.5 kg weight rules for 10 m air rifle. Velocity is held low (around 175 m/s) for precise sub-12 J target work rather than power.

Background

Tesro was founded in 2002 in Germany by Peter Romer and his son Daniel, quickly establishing the RS100 as a competitive Olympic-discipline match air rifle used by sport shooters at club and national level.
