Hey guys I need a ruling on a front bi pod mat. How think and how should it be designed.

I'm using some high pile carpet glued to a thick rubber mat with very good results. From what I can decipher it's with in the rules.

I used to use a piece of conveyor belt. The internal metal strings added support and reduced a bit of rubber bounce like carpet does and was better than just carpet. It was heavy but good on lumpy mounds and didn't slide on recoil on dry ground.

I started to use a piece of 6mm ply wood , am i breaking the rules ?

SSRs 20.10.1.2(a)

the feet of the bipod may be placed on the ground, or on material such as carpet or on a board.....

Your piece of ply would qualify as a board.

Does that differ at all from the F-T/R rules?

Don't confuse FS rule with FTR rule they are different

Hi,

Can someone please clarify the differences between F Standard and FTR front bipod platform for use in Autralia.
Thank-you

The major difference is that the F/TR bipod itself can have spikes which can be pressed into the ground up to 50mm. Other than that it's pretty much open slather. F/TR "..any number and type of object(s) (of any material)...". F Std 20.10.1.2 was quoted a couple of posts further up and further states that a board can have spikes no longer than 50mm and that the feet of the bipod must be free to slide in any direction.
