As it is known to all, the ISSF Administrative Council approved the second edition of the ISSF Technical Rules 2013-2016.
The 2nd Edition of the 2013-2016 Rules includes
all "Rule Interpretations" that were issued during 2013 and
"fine tuning of the new Finals Rules. Also it includes the modernization
of the ISSF Equipment Control Rules and necessary editing and style corrections.
To make it easier to identify the modified
rules among others which remain unchanged, I decided to select only the changed
rules and show watt was modified or added in each of them by using green
letters. The deleted words or sentences I ignored them because they are not
part of the rule anymore, unless if an entire rule has been deleted I printed them
in red letters.
As it is a very extensive work I decided to
divide the presentation by parts, starting with the General Technical Rules
which I divided into two parts (I and
II) and then I will present in two Parts
the Rifle and the Pistol Rules (Part III
and Part IV).
I hope my work will help you all to identify
the rules which were modified, instead of comparing the first edition with the
second to find out where the modifications are.
RULE
NUMBERING
All
ISSF Rules are numbered according to a rule numbering protocol that limits rule
numbers to four (4) levels (i.e. 6.10.3.5). If a
fifth level is used those rules are designated with the letters a), b), c),
etc.)
6.2.2.2
Safety flags
constructed of fluorescent orange or a similar bright material must be inserted
in all rifles, pistols and semi-automatic shotguns
at all times except
when safety flag removal is authorized by these rules. To demonstrate that air
guns are unloaded, safety flags (safety lines) must be long enough to extend
through the full length of the barrel. Safety flags for all other guns must
have a part that inserts into the chamber (breech end of barrel) to demonstrate
that the chamber is empty. Actions must be open (broken) to demonstrate that
double barrel shotguns are unloaded.
6.2.2.5
If the athlete
boxes or cases his gun or removes it from the firing point without having it
checked by a Range Officer, he may be disqualified if
the Jury determines that a significant safety violation is involved.

command “READY” and the athlete next to shoot must have
a further 12 sec. preparation time to call for the target.

machines)
