Which disciplines are covered?
ISSF Rule Check covers all 6 ISSF pistol disciplines: 10m Air Pistol (Men's, Women's & Junior), 25m Rapid Fire Pistol, 25m Pistol (Women's & Junior), 25m Standard Pistol, 25m Centre-Fire Pistol, and 50m Pistol. All rule data is sourced from the 2026 ISSF Technical Rules.

The equipment specifications, course of fire timings, and grade break tables are based on the 2026 ISSF Technical Rules. When rules change, updates are released through the App Store. Always verify critical rule details against the official ISSF rulebook for competition use.

Can I use ISSF Rule Check during a competition?
Yes. The app works entirely offline so it is suitable for use at the range. However, ISSF Rule Check is a reference guide — for official decisions at a competition, always consult the current printed ISSF Technical Rules and a qualified jury member.
How does the role picker work?
The role picker in the discipline list sidebar lets you switch between Shooter, Range Officer, and Jury. When you change role, the checklist card inside each discipline view updates automatically to show the relevant items for that role.
