Jacket touching

I don't believe this is legal. I'm trying to rack my brain....a long time ago there was a shooter in college on another team that had SUCH a dramatic arch in her back and a rather large chest that her gun literally rested on her and her jacket. She had to totally redo her position so that her gun and jacket/upper torso would not touch the rifle in standing.

Try adjusting your position or, if possible, move your buttons over so that the jacket fastens a bit tighter hopefully tightening down on that bit of seam poking up.

Good luck.
