Foresight Rule Change

Post by GolfShot »

Incase you havent heard / read. ISSF has now banned the use of square / rectangular foresight tunnels in their updated rifle rules.

7.4.1.6 Sights

f) On Air and Standard Rifles, the foresight tunnel must be circular in profile when viewed through the rear sight and not have an external shape or additions that can be used as a horizontal reference. Internal foresight elements containing a horizontal and/or vertical reference are allowed.

This is a refinement of the rules as they existed about 1980. None of today's stuff was even imagined back then.

Is it only for 10m or also 50m free rifle ?
As i read it, it may also ban outer canting indicator.

Reference : https://www.issf-sports.org/getfile.asp ... _Rules.pdf
Seems to be for all rifle events

This rule seems to be in place for a year now, but MEC/Centra doesn't say on the Glas Cube product page that it's not ISSF-legal.

It would ban also exterior level bubble for free rifle no ? that would be dumb.

Hi Piefou,
7.4.1.6 (f) "On Air and Standard rifles,......"

Therefore allowed for 50m free rifle, just not allowed on Air and Standard rifles.
Cheers Martin
