What may a pistol athlete wear and bring to the line?

• Shoes: "Only low-sided shoes that do not cover the ankle bone" are permitted. The sole must be flexible in the whole front part of the foot.
• The sole test: the sole must bend at least 22.5 degrees under a set force in the testing device.
• Walking: athletes must walk normally, heel to toe, on the field of play. The first offence brings a warning and later ones two points or disqualification.
• No supports: any device, clothing or taping that immobilises or unduly reduces movement of the legs, body or arms is prohibited.
• The wrist: bracelets, wristwatches and wristbands may not be worn on the hand or arm that holds the pistol.
• Blinders: one front blinder at most 30 mm wide may cover the eye that is not aiming. Side blinders are for shotgun athletes only.
• Hearing protection: required at the 25 m and 50 m firing lines.
• Telescopes: a spotting telescope not attached to the pistol may be used in 25 m and 50 m events only.
• Stands: a stand or box may be put on the bench to rest the pistol between shots, if bench and stand together are no higher than 1.00 m.
• Boxes in finals: transport boxes and bags may not stay on the field of play, and a box may not be used as a stand.
• Bib number: worn on the back above the waist in training and competition. An athlete who has a bib number and does not wear it may not compete.
• Dress: clothing must follow the ISSF Dress Code.

Pistol shooting is meant to be done by an unsupported body, so the clothing rules are a list of things that could act as a splint: a high boot at the ankle, tape at a joint, a band at the wrist. Everything else is left to the athlete.
