Danny, as far as I know there are no specs in the indoor rules regarding this but if you are going to shoot outdoors this ISSF rule comes into play when shooting Championships and in particular designated matches and other "ISSF type" matches
Here is rule 7.4.7.2 which refers:
"Closure of the jacket must be only by non-adjustable means e.g.
buttons or zippers. The jacket must not overlap more than 100 mm
at the closure (see Jacket Table). The jacket must hang loosely on
the wearer. To determine this, the jacket must be capable of being
overlapped beyond the normal closure by at least 70 mm,
measured from the center of the button to the outside edge of the
button hole. The measurement will be taken with the arms at the
sides. A measurement may be made either manually or with an
ISSF approved overlap gauge with a tension of 6 kg to 8 kg. The
area surrounding the button hole is limited to a maximum of
12 mm, and this area may exceed the permitted 2.5 mm thickness."
The rule is a good guide for indoor shooting as well. I beleive that having the jacket done uo too tight indoors is no real advantage for prone shooting and I have shot without buttons without any real disadventage, of more importance is the fit of the jacket across the shoulders and also on the arms where you don't want too much bulk and should be the correct length so as not to interfere with other gear or touch the rifle etc
