Shooting jackets for Vintage Military matches at CCRPC.

• The shooting jackets allowed in our matches depend on the type of match.
  
  
• For VMBAR/VMSAR Matches only lightweight shooting jackets may be used. 
• 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. 
• "Hardback", or "Heavy" shooting coats may be used only if coat is left unbuckled in standing position.
  
• 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.
  
  
• For CMP matches, lightweight, heavy, and hardback coats may be used according to the CMP rules.
