Under the new 2017 ISSF rules on the corrective lense.

Corrective Lenses in Rifle Sights. Rifle athletes will be allowed to place a single corrective lens in or on their rear sights.

Is MEC Monocle lense bracket allowed under the new rule?

Thank you.

BEWARE

Rule 7.4.1.6.c has changed in version 1.1 of the rules. It now reads:-

A single corrective lens may be attached to the rear sight only; or the athlete may wear corrective or tinted lenses

Note that the option to mount a corrective lens IN the rear sight has been removed.

A lens holder that mounts on the rear sight is allowed.

I assumed this would work. :)
