Well Stuart,

I can't agree too much with what JR has said. If you want more people to participate, then you need to look at what is stopping them from doing so now. The rear rest rule in HG is one of those things.

If the rules as they have stood for 20 yrs are fine, why are we changing any of them?  Saying everything should always stay the same is the equivalent of evolutionary suicide, but that's up to the shooters to decide I guess.

Some of the arguments put up so far are just nonsense, cost being a major one. Rule 1.1.1 says we are trying to promote precision in shooting, and improve our results. Not looking at alternative ways of doing things is one good way to stifle that development.
