Jeff, i think this one is better left alone. The reason i say this is that we in the North have placed a priority on 1K and as such have chosen either 600 IBS and the more recent 550 BR, over the Fly, as our intermediate shoot, principally as a testing ground for the 1000 yard matches. The Fly as such has become more of a nostalgia event for some with little or no value placed on its being shot. With the return of the SOTY, that will no doubt change.

Until such time others see the massive advantages a rear rest can give some shooters, the minority, us up here, should not be in a position to influence the majority. You must remember, we have gone this route to close the gap between us and the Virginia club in the postals. That is the goal, not to shoot a once a year match.
A simple question, you built the rest for what main event? While we may think that a lone rear sand bag is living in the dark ages, the majority don't. Well here in Australia anyways.
