Rifle / Pistol Equipment
Equipment Control will be conducted according to ISSF Rules using approved, calibrated instruments.
Pre-competition testing is not mandatory. However, the athletes are responsible for competing with
legal equipment and clothing. All athletes are urged to submit any doubtful equipment and clothing to
Equipment Control for checking before the competition. All athletes are subject to being selected for
random post-competition testing and will be disqualified if their equipment or clothing is not legal
according to the ISSF Rules.

Rifle Clothing
All rifle athletes must have ISSF seals with serial numbers on their jackets and trousers. Any rifle
jackets or trousers that do not have ISSF seals must be submitted to Equipment Control for inspection
and the affixing of a seal before the athlete’s first competition. Jackets and trousers that were
previously inspected and have an ISSF seal continue to be valid except that athletes with more than
one jacket or trousers must report to Equipment Control before their first competition to confirm which
jacket and which trousers they will use. All other seal numbers for that athlete will be cancelled.
Athletes that wish to replace registered jackets or trousers with a new clothing item must bring that
item to Equipment Control for inspection and a new seal. Previous seals will then be cancelled. Rifle
athletes can have only one active jacket and trousers at any time.

Rifle Clothing Post-Competition Stiffness Testing


If one panel of a rifle jacket or trousers tests 2.9 or lower, the stiffness device must be recalibrated and
the panel must be retested. If it fails again, but all other panels pass, the athlete will not be
disqualified, but a written warning must be given to the athlete and the ISSF seal must be cut off. The
athlete can continue using this clothing for that day in that event. If two or more panels fail, the athlete
must be disqualified (DSQ).

Air or CO2 Cylinders


It is the athlete’s responsibility to ensure that any air or CO2 cylinder is still within its validity date. This
may be checked by Equipment Control.

Shotgun Equipment
All skeet athletes must have ISSF seals with serial numbers on their marker tapes. Any shooting vests
that do not have ISSF seals on the marker tapes must be submitted to Equipment Control for
inspection and the affixing of a seal before the competition.
Equipment Control will be conducted according to ISSF Rules using approved, calibrated instruments.
Pre-competition testing is not mandatory. However, athletes are responsible for competing with legal
equipment and clothing. All athletes are urged to submit any doubtful equipment and clothing to
Equipment Control or the Shotgun Jury for checking before the competition. All athletes are subject to
being selected for random testing during the competition. Athletes found to be in violation of the rules
for guns or skeet marker tapes will be disqualified.

Cartridge Controls
During qualification, athletes whose cartridges are to be tested are selected by a computer draw.
Between 10% and 18% of the athletes participating in an event will be selected for cartridge testing.
Two (2) plus four (4) cartridges will be selected from each athlete and placed in separate labeled
envelopes. The two (2) cartridges must be tested, first. If both cartridges weigh 24.50g or below, no
further action will be taken. If one (1) or both cartridges weigh more than 24.50g, then the four (4)
cartridges in the second envelope must be tested. If the average of the six (6) cartridges weigh more
than 24.50 g, then the athlete must be disqualified (DSQ).
During Final, all six (6) finalists must be tested using the same procedure. The Finalists or their
Coaches/Officials must bring, as early as possible, but not later than 30 minutes before the scheduled
start of the Final (Reporting Time), all the cartridges that will be used during the Finals and place them

in separate cartridge control boxes on the Finals field of play. The Finalists must report at least 15
minutes before the start of the Final. The Equipment Control Jury will take the necessary samples
from the boxes, and the boxes will be sealed. The boxes must be left under the supervision of

the Equipment Control Jury or the Finalist can remove ammunition from the box. If additional
cartridges are brought to a Finalist during Finals, samples from those cartridges must also be selected
for testing. All cartridge controls must be completed before the start of the Presentation of the
Finalists. Any disqualified (DSQ) athlete will not be allowed to participate in the Finals (There will be
no elimination for 6th place; the first elimination will be for 5th place).

Colored Wads

Mr. Inyeon NAM, KOR – Shotgun E-mail: jwchkor2023@gmail.com
Competition Website: http://jwch2023.shooting.or.kr
Upon request, the Organizing Committee will arrange local transportation to and from ICN with cost
plus firearm transportation fees (EUR 150.00 per athletes - one way) since the firearms and
ammunitions must be separately transported by local police and the OC staff as required by local
governmental code. This case, ISSF Member Federations that want to use ICN are requested to
contact the OC not later than 7 JUN 2023 to arrange the transportation accordingly.

Airport pickup service between PUS to the official hotels is available free of charge from 14 to 25 JUL
2023.

The delegation will be transported directly to the official hotels from the airport, not via the shooting
range. All firearms and ammunitions will be transported from the airport to the shooting range by local
police and OC staff. The same procedure will be made at departure.

Local Transportation – Shuttle Service


For the delegation that accommodate at the Official Hotels through the OC, a free shuttle service will
be provided between the hotels and the shooting range during the training and competition days only
(15 – 24 JUL 2023).

The shuttle schedule will be available at the information bulletin at the hotels and the OC website
(http://jwch2023.shooting.or.kr).

Any delegation accommodating at non-official hotels must make all their local transportation (airport-
hotel-shooting range) by themselves regardless of entry fee payment. This will apply also for any
delegation who directly books the official hotel by themselves, and not through the OC.

9. Competition Related Procedures at the Shooting Range
