Date	21 July 1980 — 9:00
Status	Olympic
Location	Strelbishche Dynamo, Mytishchi
Participants	56 from 32 countries
Format	50 metres prone. 60 shots prone. 600 possible.

Six of the first seven places went to Eastern Bloc shooters, aided by the absence of the Americans and West Germans. The gold medalist, Károly Varga (HUN), had broken his shooting hand only two days before the competition and competed wearing a bandage on his hand. Varga tied at 599 with East Germany’s Hellfried Heilfort but won the gold medal based on the countback tie-breaker. They both shot 100 in the last string, but Varga had 100 to Heilfort’s 99 in the fifth string.
