ISSF Rule Interpretations
A set of rule interpretations are now available under the "General" section of this ISSF web site page
I still have a problem with the guide for Velocity Testing of Rapidfire Ammo.
1/ If we are testing pistols at a pistol competition, why are we using a rifle as a control unit. The most consistent over a chronograph is a air pistol.
2/ Setting up a chronograph as far as lighting goes varies from brand to brand. Some require bright sun with opaque shielding to work well. Others will not work in shade. No mention of NOT setting up under fluorescent or mercury vapour lighting.
Most chronographs work better when lit by incandescent lighting or even better still with infra red built in screen system.
3/ There is still no guide as to how to certify a single chronograph.

Boots
David,
Thanks for the link. The first one I looked at was “Shoe Sole Flexibility Test”. I must say I’m not very impressed with the fixture they came up with (looks like a one size fits all deal). Ironically the boot used for illustration would never even make it to the fixture, it would have failed for having squared off toe area (the way I read the new rules). I have a bad feeling the first trip though equipment control is going to be a nightmare!
