So my question is, what section/part says that you can not tuck your bipod. Or what are people interpreting to leade them to believe this? I'm not trying to open a can of worms or start an argument so I hope this doesn't cause this. I just want to know so I can see it for myself. Thanks, Andy
If nothing else when you have the rifle in position if the match director walked over and lifted it straight up the mat would rise a little with it which would make the weight of the mat included in the overall weight of the rifle which in most cases would put you way over the weight limit. Refer to rule 3.4 paragraph (1).
