That is correct. The Rapid Fire target has not changed.

Could you please help me in interpreting the following statements...
===
7.4.7.2.1 Only one (1) shooting jacket, only one (1) pair of shooting trousers and only one (1) pair of shooting shoes may be approved by Equipment Control for each shooter for all rifle events in any championship. This does not prevent the shooter using normal athletic type training shoes in any event or position. The jacket must be capable of being used in all three positions (prone, standing and kneeling) and must meet all other specifications in order to be approved for the competition. Any item of clothing which fails to pass at Equipment Control must be retested after five (5) minutes without removing the item of clothing from the Equipment Control room. A third test may be conducted five (5) minutes after the second test without the item of clothing being removed from the Equipment Control room. If the item of clothing fails to pass the Equipment Control on the third test it may not be resubmitted and must be indelibly marked.
7.4.7.2.1.1 Only one substitute shooting jacket and only one substitute shooting trousers may be submitted. Should a substitute item fail the test, no special clothing for that item may be worn.
7.4.7.2.1.2 Before and during all tests the clothing must not be manipulated by heat or other means.
7.4.7.2.1.3 Manipulation of the material after examination (sprays, etc.) will be penalized according to the rules.

The question is simple: Does it mean that if we participate to the competition (like Grand Prix of Plzen, Czech for example) where 3 rifle events are planed, we MUST NOT use different jacket for AR10m and FR50m?

I would be realy grateful for any answer,

Grzegorz

Grzegorz,

The short answer is yes. Only one jacket can be approved.

I don't know the exact rules of czech competition, but if they use the same words as ISSF then the answer is still yes.

Pozdrowienia,

Marcus

8.4.7.2.1: Women are required to wear dresses, skirts, divided skirts, shorts or
trousers, and blouses and tops (which will cover the front and back of the
body, and be over each shoulder).

Does a Chador or Burqa or whatever it is called often seen worn by female competitors from Moslem countries count?

or were the new rules written by the same people who wrote the rules for French school system?
