Following the principle set out in the IOC’s 2020 document concerning gender-equality, the ISSF Executive and the Administrative Council decided to equalize everything across all Olympic disciplines.
Many members who intend to compete in air rifle and pistol events in Scotland will need to be aware of the firearms legislation that came into force on 1st January 2017.
Rationale by David Goodfellow, ESSU Chairman and Member of the ISSF Rifle Committee.
The ISSF always review their Rules following an Olympics year, and 2017 is no exception.
