IBS Long Range Rulebook
- Thread starter dmoran
- Start date
There was no reason to remove key parts to the rules just to allow the new SEB 3 piece.
The IBS voting body opened the door. Although the old rules are still whats published.
If they do change them let them deal with it.
They should just remove all mention of sandbag from the rules and run rail guns. Thats where they are headed if they dont re/rewright them.

Yes there is other reasons Joe... changing the wording is changing the rules.
Which is changing the rules without the "peoples say so".
+20-years of uniformed front bag criteria, puff... gone like a fart in the wind.
Done by the key strokes of manipulating re-writing.
Reminds me exactly of Obama type orchestration.
Have to agree with Mr. Miller.... this is a lot more then just Copy & Pasting.

The intent of this whole rules revision/clean up was to lessen the confusion and different interpretations of the rules as they were written. If there is a way to gain an unfair advantage while adhering to the rules it will be quickly identified and I would hope promptly dealt with. No rest rules were changed, but in my opinion the interpretation of the spirit of the rules have now been clarified.
It was meant to alleviate confusion period. End of story.
It was never meant to open the door to new equipment that offers an unfair advantage.
Good people put a lot of time into this and in no way meant to go around or behind anyone to create anything more than an easily interpreted and understandable rule book for long range IBS Benchrest.

1/2" of sand between the stock and holder where the bag contacts the stock 
Joe, i don't understand where you are coming from, Williamsport left the Neo in the World open last year with the three piece bag. I was told it is all about numbers, so you are beating a dead horse….jim
I see if it picks up any part of the rest when you raise the gun, is trapping it and a DQ. but a 15 lb. rest verses a 60 lb. rest is NOT a level playing field. This where the 1/2"contact rule comes in to play. ….. jim
Once the person proves it is in fact a half inch then under the new amendment that rest would be legal or at least the person who made that rest would hope so.
Jason said that the new revisions were meant alleviate confusion. I would argue based on this thread that confusion is exactly what you have.

I will have to agree Ryan. Good intentions don't always create good results I guess.
My Edgewood front bags contain 6 pieces
Only need 2 bags. 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/2" U shaped bags. one on each side. Fully encapsulated by aluminum on all 4 sides. 1/2" x 1/2" rails would ride sweet in them and not move even a little bit.
As I said, Can you say "Rail Gun" !!
And with that being said Im out of this thread. Up to the IBS now to decide how they want to handle this.
Just dont bring that crap to Williamsport!!!
