You have to be a pritty cruel RO to ping someone on something like this. . . . But id hate to be on the other side of the country/ world and try to argue the point!
I've got an umbrella with a large tent peg attached. If it starts raining i can just push it into the mound and it doesn't have to touch the rifle. . . . . . But no doubt there is probably some rules that im crossing with that set up.
Can anyone see any problems with my umbrella set up?
Why does shooting in the rain cause case problems?

Barry, thanks for tidying up my input on covers but as you say it still requires clarification. Personally I think safety comes first and a cover should be allowed and weight disregarded. Obviously if its not raining or about to rain the cover should be removed to eliminate any competitors attempt to exceed the weight requirement.
ICFRA state clearly that it must be made of transparent material so the bolt and action can be seen at all times. If my memory serves me correctly they allow 1 square metre for a rain cover. The ICFRA rule makes a lot of sense and would be a good place to start to update our SSR's.
No umbrellas Adam, you need to make up a cover!
