Technically, it is a safety violation Under what we used to call the "45 Degree Rule" and it is an Old rule. this is the present wording for the rule:forest341 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 24, 2021 9:48 amThat is exactly how I understood it.JACKIE40X40 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 12:52 pm You could apply for a PC card if you have a physical problem,other wise if you used the PC bench it would be considered a shooting aid!
As a 62 year old, I am just a young one in this organization. I have no need for a raised platform (yet), but better eyes sure would be nice.
While we are here, look at the above club's site pictures again. There is a young man with a red jacket on, shooting from a raised platform, and with his left leg straight out in front of him. That sure doesn't look safe to me. I like my toes and would like to keep them. If I shot off my foot, I would probably have to start shooting from a raised platform.
C) While in the firing position, no part of the competitor’s body may be in the “Danger Zone”, defined as a 45-degree angle cone- shaped area extending from the muzzle in line with the bore.
it will depend on how he is positioned though. if that leg is straight out, he would be in the 45 degree cone. if the leg is angled away from the body, it would not be in the cone. This is a Safety violation and just requires a notification.
