New Rule regarding shooting jackets for Vintage Military matches at CCRPC.

Only lightweight shooting jackets may be used in VMBAR/VMSAR matches.  These jackets provide elbow, sling, and shoulder padding, but do not provide significant additional stability for shooting in the standing position.  Allowed coats are those generally described as cloth or canvas coats.  No "Hardback", or "Heavy" shooting coats may be used. 

This rule is intended to allow shooters to participate competitively with only a modest investment in equipment.  The spirit of the VMBAR/VMSAR matches is to compete with basically the same gear as an infantry soldier.  While we do allow additional equipment such as scopes and mats, these items do not directly improve the shooter's ability.

Lightweight, heavy, and hardback coats may be used in our CMP matches.

Rule added by Vintage Military Match Director, September 2008.
