Ok Pete,
Let's call it 3.2.3.1 in the draft above. While we are at it, if the main concern is to keep the cost down, why aren't we banning Joystick rests? These are every bit as expensive as any fixed front, adjustable rear set up.
In terms of 'is there an advantage to a rear adjustable?', the best 1000yd Aus 6 match was shot this year, again, with a rear sandbag, front adjust rest, so it isn't really a contention. I would like to have this change submitted in March, so if someone would like to give me the proper format, I will go ahead and do it.
In terms of the SSAA benchrest rules quoted, these apply to short range (100 & 200m), as far as I know, they don't apply to the long range stuff, these were handed to NRA, and in terms of equipment, are substantially the IBS rules.
