The event consisted of two rounds: a qualifier and a final. In the qualifier, each shooter fired 60 shots with an air rifle at 10 metres distance from the standing 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 (first-place finisher had already qualified a quota spot) Jonathan Hall of the United States qualifies his country a quota spot for the men's 10 metre air rifle event at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Great Britain.
