I suggest one of the matches to allow everything and anything. pillow, bag, bipod, tripod, whatever clever support you can come up with, etc. I doubt anyone would come close to the possible 1000 points.

No real dog in this fight, but having been on both sides of the line as a competitor and MD, I'll throw in my 2 pennies.

From a MD point of view:

If the COF is not clear that a competitor may not use a certain support device, then competitors will do what they need to do to make hits. A good example was posted above when a few guys used "so cal sitting" to clean a few of the stages at the 2010 TBRC. They did not use any mechanical support devices so it was completely legal per the COF we gave them. This did prompt us to ensure we describe what we want in the sitting position from that day on. Notice our sitting stages are described as NRA style, sling only, no other support devices, and the rifle has to be in your shoulder and not supported by your lap.

Competitors will always be competitors and want to gain the upper hand by trying to solve the problem the MD has put in front of them. It is the MD's job to ensure he or she writes the COF clear enough to get the desired results, and force the shooter to shoot the stage as designed.

Stages and rules should never be changed once the COF has been given.

Telling a competitor he isn’t going to win anyways, and to go ahead is a complete lack of professionalism on the line. Also, making some comment about giving Nathan a pass because of his height is BS. I don't think he was asking for any special treatment when trying to use the bi-pod. This was the same as all of us putting bi pods on our packs at SCPRC back in 2009 for the seated COF. I was blown away myself when Mark said it's OK after I asked about a few others doing it. Everyone smoked that stage I believe.

From the competitor point of view:

I am going to do what it takes to ensure I get as many hits as possible. However, our discipline does rely heavily on the shooters honor and integrity. Personally, I hate gamers and don't want that type of shooter at the events I help put on. I also dislike the shooter that holds up the whole squad asking "what if I did X questions. Or would X be OK, if I did X". Once you are labeled a gamer, it sticks with you.

And whats even more funny? I wasnt even in the rifle game when that occurred and I have heard about it so many times and from more than one person....

Then when Randall and I went to AZ, I actually got to met him in person and yes, there were several times that he was asking questions trying to push the limits... Vu, you were on the other squad, so you didn't get to see this 1st hand, but I guess it doesnt change...
