By coming and meet you there I do hope that I can explain all the things you want to know/be explained, directly.
I can explain/proof it that my (regular/production) rests already met or exceeded the aforementioned rules. I can proof it to you all that the top design does not allow you to trap your stock in the bag (etc) when the front bag is set and sand filled properly, whether it's the 1pc bag or the 3pc bag. It's all about how you use the rest / top and bag fill, not the rest's faulty/design etc.
English is not my main language, but "face to face" I am sure you would/can understand everything I say/explain.
Re; Jim.
To me, IF Jim has problem with my rest, he can contact me directly, explain what he wants or what he wants me to do. Not by putting his finger on my nose / on my rest, in a public forum, especially without any proof / fact.
Jim always says that my rest/neo "does not Ok", or "not legal?", again and again, since 2012 and until today, and to my best understanding only by "his standard". (He seems to refer on my old/prototype rest and bags, which is not up to date). I have made some changes and improvements on my rests.
And then very recently he says that the side tension screws "should be lower", again in public forum, whilst it has nothing to do with how it works. I'd suspect that he doesn't know/understand that lowering the side tension screws (in my rest top) will not change anything - only make the thumb screw to interfere with the bottom bag in the 3 pc bag configuration.
You can also see the thread is not about the neo rest..How could he brings my rest into the "this discussion", AGAIN??? Why don't he complain other rests, or how other shooters set their front bag, to be fair enough??? Why only the NEO??? I am sure he have seen many other rests in his shooting career. I can proof it that - you can trap your stock (far more) easily in/with other rests by its design! I am sure he also knows that. Again why only the neo?
That's not fair, indeed! That's why I consider/take it as personal attack or a character assassination - especially that he did it again and again / repeated from time to time.
Jim, do you have/had problem with me, personally???
Just so you know that I am all ears and respect any valuable inputs / criticism. I even seek inputs when designing things. I always try to improve my products, do give back etc.... How could I don't accept good/valuable input???
Yes I might look dumb with my poor English (I am sure), but I can build things and know how to sort out the good thing and the not. I also know the difference between constructive input and bad mouthing. I also know the difference between genuine words and the not.
I do hope that, after I met him & discussing about the rest / his objections etc, we can sort it out the issue.
We are all adult people. I will also shake his hands and congratulate him when he wins!

Joe,
I don't have a rifle specially built for long range BR right now...
Mr. Taylor (Stan) offered me to shoot in Georgia using his rifle, but I don't know if he would shoot the World Open so I have no clue if I could come to the World Open.
Would love to try to shoot the match, for sure.
I don't think I could build a new rifle within the time frame.
If you think I can get a loan rifle, please let me know.
seb.
