Hi All,

I think Anthony has done a good job with his draft having zeroed in on the core issues, although I have a few suggestions. Before going into them let me remind you all that I have some years of experience as a delegate on the National commitee and I know that rules and rule changes should avoid duplication, excess verbage or stating the obvious - otherwise passage thru the system becomes a chore. Anyway on to my comments -

3.1.1.3   HG weight - leave as is, or get into a debate as to what/whom represents a 'reasonably fit adult' . This would never get thru  the commitee.  Also lets take into account that any shooter with a bit of experience knows that building something ridiculously heavy confers no advantage anyway.

3.2.3      Spacers - clarify that we are talking rear bag spacers and use the term 'resticted rests' in reference to the main rule book item.

3.2.8     LG weigh-in.  Suggest the following wording - "All rifles intended to be used in LG class must be weighed prior to the commencement of the match."  This simple wording is all that is needed as it covers the issues of spare/optional rifles and the requirement for the range/organisers to have the necessary gear to do the job (a pre-requisite of a registered match).

3.3.1.3.   Change to simpler wording -'and allow a warmer target'

3.4.4.      Change rim fire to 200YARDS

3.5.          Using .01 puts the pressure on Anthony to keep refining his program and distribute nationally!!!

"Target Scoring" - hardly worth mentioning as this is already the norm in all forms of benchrest
. How else could a competitor bring a problem to the scorers attention.
