Hello everyone. I am John Dahman. I've taken the post name of Woody and this is my first post.
Awhile back, the 1 buck rules committee agreed to allow it's shooters to use a personal shooting "platform" during the competition at Rio on Fridays. The platform helps make bench rest shooting much more comfortable as it allows the shooter to put their knees under the bench in a way which is similar to the benches at the Soaring Eagles range. Most 1 Buck shooters are now using their own platforms". I believe that most, if not all, of the shooters feel that this will result in better scores.
As of today, the platforms are not approved for use during the VAGC matches which will begin this week. I will bring forth a motion at the meeting on Tuesday the 12th that the club rules committee consider approval of the platforms for use during club shoots at the Rio range. I feel that using the platform would remove some of the advantage that the Soaring Eagles shooters have over the Rio shooters as a result of the difference between the respective benches.
