You need to read the rules.  The top rifle looks OK, the bottom one is no good because of the thumbhole stock; but can easily be made legal by plugging the hole temporarily.  Your question about the rest is clearly stated in the rules, which you are required to know before you can compete.

lion, the rule covering bench rest as follows:

    Section 2.91: Sandbags and Rests
A sandbag or shaped rear rest sand filled bag made of leather or canvas may be used under the toe of the butt
stock. An anti-cant device (bob-sled) similar to the Pope style muzzle rest or the one described in Mann’s book
is permitted. Also a spirit level or sight attached to the barrel is permitted. A simple stop may be attached to
the front rest as an aid in realigning the rifle for the next shot. This may be contacted by the muzzle rest or the
forearm at the discretion of the shooter if used at all. The front rest assembly and rear bag may not be
connected mechanically or tied together. The shooting bench top surface is the only common connection
between the two that will be allowed.

Joe

Jeff wasn't trying to be rude with his comment but I guess someone could take it the wrong way.
Jeff is also the ASSRA's Schuetzen Meister and a PM to him with any technical questions would probably be a better approach in the future.

So Bev Pinneys IS 250 is null and void. Bev used a front and rear rest that were mechanically attached. When I pointed that out to the Schuetzenmeister I was once again told to shut up.  Grin Is there a statute of limitaions in the rules?

  I don't know about statutes or what rest was used, but, that is not an official ASSRA target

ASSRA Match Records Section 7.20 Qualifying for Records A shooter may only qualify for a record score in one of two ways. First, The 
Schuetzenmeister for any of the ASSRA National matches may verify that a target has 
qualified for Both National Match Records and an ASSRA Match Record. 
Second, for scores fired at any ASSRA affiliated club match event shot under ASSRA 
match rules:
1.) The official ASSRA target to be considered is to be signed by the local 
Schuetzenmeister to verify that the target was shot under ASSRA rules at an affiliated 
club scheduled event, and that the shooter is an ASSRA member in good standing.
2.) The signed target is to be sent to the Clubs Coordinator for verification. If the target is 
to be returned to the shooter a self addressed stamped envelop of an appropriate size 
should be sent with the target.

  I don't know who was Clubs Coordinator at that time, but he should have caught that.

That picture has been posted here in the past. We all missed that it is not the correct target.  Hell of a target anyway. Sorry Bev! 

Chuck can't believe it......
