Hi Lads,

My apologies if this has been asked and answered before.

Lifted from the UKAHFT 2009 Rules:
Supported Kneeling/Standing – The above rules apply with the exception that any part of the rifle or body may be resting on the supporting tree/object. If a number of supporting objects are available, some part of the rifle or body must be touching the support marked with the peg number as the shot is taken. In addition to touching the numbered support you may also make use of any other supporting objects

Question:
Do I need to put a bit of my body between the gun and the "rest" for the shot to be legal? Can I (for example) just sit the gun nicely in the cleft of a tree where it is held perfectly still/stable and just pull the trigger.

I had always assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that irrespective of the shot you always had to have a bit of your body between the gun and the "rest".
