TOM wrote:Norm, whats your reasoning behind having the bag weight included in the total weight limit and what weight limit would be imposed if done so? As for banning rests in F standard, forget it, It will never happen, so too trying to get everyone to use a Harris for a job it's not intended for.
Reasoning is simple.
Put the human component back into shooting. As it stands a rifle can be set up in a rest so that it is almost locked sold with minimal human interaction.
Its supose to be a "Standard" shoot with everyone competing on an equal playing field.
As it stands now. there are ca$hed up "People" shooting with $1500 front rests and solid high tech rear bag systems against other shooters who are trying to compete with $100 bipods and $50 bean bags.
The Standard does not apply as results depend on how thick your wallet is, not how good a shooter you are on a level playing field.
Make the rests of a configuration where the shooter actually has to drive the rifle in order to score high and the competition would be more equal. New shooters would then not feel so intimidated.
My idea would make the shooter with a heavy rear rest shoot with a lighter rifle to stay under the weight limit. The shooter with a light weight bipod and rear rest could then shoot a heavier rifle and so be partially compensated for a less steady rest. In so doing the playing field is made flatter.
In reality I can see that it is not going to happen but it would make things interesting if it did.

**I would however like a class where people need to use tactical rifles with Harris style bi-pods. Then we'd really see who can shoot!** +1
