Finals eye cover dimensions
Anyone have the size of the non shooting eye cover for ISSF finals?
8.4.7.7.1 refers to 'cover'; i.e. opaque or translucent.
The rules about side blinders and eye cover are intended to make the shooter's face identifiable for TV and photos - shooters can still wear 'transparent' materials.
See 8.2.9 Eye Protection
All shooters are urged to wear shatterproof shooting glasses, or
similar eye protection, while shooting.

It is doesn't matter what colour the material is it's the size that matters.Spencer wrote:8.4.7.7.1 refers to 'cover'; i.e. opaque or translucent.

Rob, I think you need to remember the "spirit & intent" and "common sense" aspect of the rules. If it doesn't matter what colour the material is then that means that you cannot shoot in normal glasses. That is obviously not the case.RobStubbs wrote:It is doesn't matter what colour the material is it's the size that matters.Spencer wrote:8.4.7.7.1 refers to 'cover'; i.e. opaque or translucent.

I think that Spencer got it right with his "opaque or translucent" definition.

In non ISSF shooting, e.g. NRA, side shields are used both for eye protection as well as an aid in concentration. Seems a shame to reduce/give up this safety measure simply for public relations.Spencer wrote: See 8.2.9 Eye Protection

It's OK David I was having a blonde moment ;-). I miss-read it as if he wrote it had to be clear or white.David Levene wrote: Rob, I think you need to remember the "spirit & intent" and "common sense" aspect of the rules.
