Elbow pads and shooting jackets
Posted: Sun May 13, 2012 7:05 pm
Looking for a possible solution?
Going to a prone match this Saturday and my Elbows are torn up from shootting in the prone position.

I am using the usual equipment
Shooting mat
Gheman shooting coat
Sling
Glove

This is the match (Hey that dude has the same equipment as me! It's not me by the way)

I was wondering if I could help nurse my weak elbow with an elbow pad and wear it under my shooting jacket?

I was looking at the rules for The National Small-Bore Rifle Association.
8.8 CLOTHING
8.8.1 The use of strap-on elbow pads is permitted but not in addition to elbow padding which is affixed to the
garment. The use of any special devices, means or garments which immobilise the shooter's legs, body or arms
is prohibited.
8.8.2 All shooting clothing must be made of flexible material, including all lining, padding and reinforcements.
8.8.3 The shooting coat may have reinforcement patches of moderate size and thickness added only to the outside
surfaces on the shoulder and on both sleeves. Reinforcements of such size and thickness as to form support for
the shooter or rifle are prohibited. In no case must the elbow reinforcement be nearer to the end of the sleeve
than 100 mm (4 in). Concealed padding is prohibited.
I think I might have to grin a bear it?
I don't want to be disqualified over and elbow pad under my jacket.
Anyone?
