Yep! He competes in (at least) 10m mixed team. They use PCP pistols for that, so you really don’t really need more than a pair of earplugs. 25m and 25m rapid both use .22LR though, and many competitors compete in both events and only bring the one pair of PPE, so that’s where the images of competitors wearing full ears vs. earplugs only in one side come from (and/or some people’s ears are stupidly designed so they can’t wear normal earplugs / earbuds and have to have the uncomfortable and bulky over-the-ear protection. Not that I’m bitter or anything. Stupid ears.).
Also, his shooting stance is 100% standard, here’s him & his partner Sevval Tarhan in identical stances. It’s really more for comfort than anything else, since rounds go for 1hr 15min. Ergonomic stance means you can keep up the consistent shots for that long a period
The meme format with him vs. the south korean shooter Kim Yeji looks so different because they are competing in totally different events, even though they’re both shooting PCP target guns.
