Yes, a lot of the scores, like in free pistol and air pistol, were much lower than in years past. 20 years ago, 565 in air pistol wouldn't get you into the shoot off for the US Team. Same for free pistol. You needed to be a consistent 570 shooter to compete internationally.
And a lot of the traditional pistol events were dropped over the years - like Duel, politically incorrect, I suppose. Biathlon went from a centerfire longer range cross country ski event, to a closer range .22 LR event, with some run on bicycle. (Never tried that).
