Hi Pete,

Good Idea re the club matches being registered.... I guess that also means that we have to pay the benchrest committee the fee of $2 per entry and supply full results after the shoot.

In relation to the rules and the rear bags .... the full benchrest rules state: (page 11)

5.2.2 The front rest may be a block or pedestal, and may incorporate
adjustments for windage and elevation, but shall not have any guiding
means; it shall be used in conjunction with a sandbag on which to rest the
fore-end of the rifle; the section of fore-end contacting the sandbag shall
be for full width of the stock. The rear rest shall be a sandbag only, except
that a vertical spacer shall be allowed between this sandbag and the
bench-top. Such spacer shall not incorporate adjustments for windage or
elevation, nor shall it contain any protrusions which can be inserted into
the bench-top or the sandbag and the top and bottom of the spacer shall
be substantially flat. The rear sandbag shall not be contained in any
manner.

I think this already covers rear spacers etc as long as they don't attach to the bench and are substantially flat in nature (ie block of wood, metal block etc).

Cheers

Anthony
