I am not saying rules are not needed, I absolutely understand the thirst some have to win, and I admire the effort some put in to do that (you included Monkey ), I am just questioning some rules that I find odd or am not clever enough to fully understand.
....however with a caveat, that anybody who cannot kneel, must be given the option of a support if choosing to take the shot standing....
...HFT is very inclusive...
This is the very point I was trying to make, I cannot understand why someone who cannot kneel is given the option to take a supported stander on a peg allocated as a supported kneeler only when its over 35 yards, why not all supported kneelers...they have to free stand the shorter ones which gives those who can kneel a massive advantage, overly complicated rule and not so much inclusion there?
...To the best of my knowledge there are some tolerances built into a UKAHFT course measurements if targets are challenged...
..if it is wrong even by an inch then yes it should be pulled if the rules so allow...
So is that tolerance a secret only available to the "establishment" because I don't see it in the UKAHFT rules, it must be less than 6" as witnessed recently, an inch really, is that form the front or back of the peg, with a carbine or full length barrel
...However you yourself Lol take exception to the 8yarder not being allowed to stand if it is closer than 8yds...
Not so in the context you have quoted it, I have been led to believe by the "establishment" that anything closer than 8 yards is dangerous, that's the context in which I was using that measure...unless I have been mislead
I also believe, however, that the rules themselves should be adaptable to meet changing circumstances; and that such developments depend upon robust discussion and reflection. So, long may that continue too.
Hallelujah uncle Phil, hallelujha
