The men's 50 metre rifle prone shooting event at the 2011 Pan American Games was held on October 19 at the Jalisco Hunting Club in Guadalajara.[1] The defending Pan American Games champion is Thomas Tamas of the United States.
The event consisted of two rounds: a qualifier and a final. In the qualifier, each shooter fired 60 shots with a .22 Long Rifle at 50 metres distance from the prone position. Scores for each shot were in increments of 1, with a maximum score of 10.
The top 8 shooters in the qualifying round moved on to the final round. There, they fired an additional 10 shots. These shots scored in increments of .1, with a maximum score of 10.9. The total score from all 70 shots was used to determine final ranking.
With the second-place finish (the United States has reached its quota) Alex Suligoy of Argentina qualifies his country a quota spot for the men's 50 metre rifle prone event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Great Britain.
