Description
Summary:The focus of this project is to perform a study on the existing accuracy on the air rifle pellets used by Team Singapore & address the issues related to different pellets used that affects the national shooters’ performance. Studies will be done to undercover the possible causes to improve the accuracy of these pellets during the selection process using a set of scientific methods and approach. This could potentially enhance the team’s overall performance by looking into the metrological aspect for the pellets, such as its roundness, geometry, dimensions, weight and any possible factor that may affect its flight. Results were presented to Singapore Shooting Association and acknowledged by Singapore Sports Council. In addition, this report also aims to identify how the shooter’s body posture affects the result accuracy.
