What is a "shooting jacket"?

+1
−0

I read this news report today about a Malaysian competitor in the commonwealth games.

Commonwealth shooting champion Nur Ayuni Farhana Abdul Halim will be unable to compete in Glasgow after her competition jacket went missing.... "The rules clearly state that a rifle shooter must wear a jacket. "We tried to borrow one but it did not fit her. We tried to make a new one but she said that she would need two months to get used to it."

This begged the question, what on earth is a shooting jacket? Why do you need one and why would it "need two months to get used to it"???

According to: Competition Shooting 101: CMP/NRA High Power By Nick Leghorn on April 21, 2011

Shooting Jacket – This is another tool for keeping you steady. While standing or sitting, having an extremely tight jacket to hold you up can be a real help. It also helps keep the sling in proper position during prone. It’s a little spend-y, but worth the expense.

Creedmoor Sports says:

Creedmoor’s world famous shooting coats deliver advantageous support for the shooters standing position. Wearing a Creedmoor shooting coat every time provides the consistency necessary to achieve better performance. Not only will a Creedmoor shooting coat improve scores, but utilizing a high-quality Creedmoor shooting coat will add comfort during a competition.
