Well spotted.
No great surprise. They tried to bring in the blinders rule (with 20mm width) before the World Championships last year but "whimped-out" by calling it an "interpretation" and then a "request". In the end it was totally ignored.
At least this time they have legitimised it by giving new rule numbers.
Right or wrong, and I am not sure if it makes much difference, as it is designed to assist TV coverage it would have been ludicrous not to have the new rules in place before the Olympics.

What about the safety aspect of side shields and a full cover on the non-aiming eye and shooting hats with flaps. Will the ISSF take resposibilty if some gets something in their eye? It seems to me that banning equipment that clearly has safety aspects would open them up to law suits. I wonder when they dreamed this up if they consulted a lawyer. I'm sure that this will make shooting an instant TV hit. Do these people have noting better to do, and have any of them ever shot?
