Anyone have the size of the non shooting eye cover for ISSF finals?

Greg,
I was just at the spring selection match and the size they made us cut too was 30mm.

It is not just finals but the match as well.

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.

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.

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.

As above, 8.4.7.7.1 does not preclude "...shatterproof shooting glasses, or similar 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.
