TargetTalk

Just like when we went to light coats from heavy coats the ones that won then will win now, just cooler. I don't think anyone really suggests otherwise. The best shooters would keep winning, just with lower scores. The main thing it would achieve is reducing the cost of entry. All you have to buy i...

If Olympians shooting 8's and 9's was an issue we could just make the target bigger? I mean that would be a small change compared to what is being proposed. That is the crux of the issue. Would abolishing the gear result in a massive influx of new shooters and interest in the sport? If I was convinc...

I think it has been a pretty great o...

I've been a rifle coach for 24 years and I think the jackets and pants are an absolute joke and a huge hindrance to our sport. Needing a $2,000 custom suit to be competitive is absolutely ridiculous. If safety is the concern (which I don't believe it is) then simply lower the max weight of the rifl...

And after the performance from 'Raygun', I'm not sure Australia will be keen to add it in 2032.....

Also, just realized OP is a pistol shooter and not a random tourist so going to entertain the pot stirring as opposed to just defaulting to the standard explanation when people are curious.

As others have eluded to, the way the sport has evolved (heavy rifles, asymmetric load on the spin) some variety of back support is required to avoid injury. If shooting clothes were removed, rifles would probably need to be lighter and positions may need to be adjusted. It would require such an ove...
