Stiffness The Stiffness for clothing will be measured by a – suitable device approved by the ISSF. Stiffness The device used to measure the stiffness of clothing must be capable of measuring to one tenth of a millimeter (0.1 mm) and have the following dimensions: A Measuring cylinder = 60 mm diameter 1000 g (including grip and measuring B Measuring weight = plate C) C Measuring plate = 20 mm diameter D Digital display indicating 0.1 mm The rounding of the edges on the measuring plate (C) and E measuring cylinder (A) must not be more than 0.5 mm radius as maximum. Measuring weight "B" presses measuring plate "C" onto the fabric/material which is laid flat, without stretching, on measuring cylinder "A". If the measuring cylinder is depressed at least 3 mm the material is acceptable. If a figure below 3.0 is displayed the material is too stiff. Follow-up controls after the competition (in Olympic Events after Qualifications) will be conducted by the Equipment control and supervised by the Jury. Follow-up controls must ensure that as many Finalists as possible are checked, together with a few random selections. The check will be conducted immediately after the shooter has finished. If the clothing fails, it will be tested again after the first check. If any item of clothing fails a second time, the shooter must be disqualified. Before and during all follow-up controls, the clothing must not be manipulated by heat or other temporary or permanent means. Shooting Jacket The body and sleeves of the jacket, including the lining, must not exceed 2.5 mm in single thickness and 5 mm in double thickness at any point where flat surfaces may be measured. The jacket must not be longer than the bottom of the balled fist (see Jacket Table). Closure of the jacket must be only by non-adjustable means e.g. buttons or zippers. The jacket must not overlap more than 100 mm at the closure (see Jacket Table). The jacket must hang loosely on the wearer. To determine this, the jacket must be capable of being overlapped beyond the normal closure by at least 70 mm, measured from the center of the button to the outside edge of the button hole. The measurement will be taken with the arms at the sides. A measurement may be made either manually or with an
