WPFG Classifications will be used. A competitor without an established WPFG classification may use their official national classification score card or Score Record Book to receive an “Assigned Classification”.

Any competitor without an established WPFG classification who cannot present such evidence will shoot their individual event. The score they obtain will be used to determine their proper classification. This classification will also be used for the team event.

The WPFG reserves the right to reclassify any shooter based upon “known ability” or other evidence to the skill of the individual.

Competitors MUST use only equipment (firearms, accessories, ammunition, devices) and apparel that comply with ISSF rules. The competitor is responsible for submitting all equipment and apparel for official inspection and approval to a WPFG Equipment Inspector prior to competition.

Competitors are responsible for supplying firearms and ammunition. Australian law restricts the importation of some firearm types & ammunition into Australia, even for the purposes of a sporting competition. Prohibited firearms will be seized and forfeited by border officials.

Perth 2027 will assist all competitors with the import, export and required to enter Australia and the temporary licensing paperwork for Western Australia.

It is mandatory for ear and eye protection to be worn during shooting. Eye protection, in the form of shatterproof shooting glasses or similar is to be worn. Earmuffs, ear plugs or protectors, passive or electronic must be worn. Apple Air-pods and similar earbuds are not adequate ear protection unless custom moulded to provide hearing protection. Earbuds specifically designed to offer hearing protection are acceptable.
