Hi,
Where would I find information about the use of front rests for F Class?
With so many new products on the market now it is hard to know if they are allowed, for example there is a new rest called, Smartrest Nitroforce, which looks an ideal rest but not sure if it would be allowed.
thanks in advance

Thanks for that. What would be a good front rest? Just there are so many it is hard to know which is good and bad.

Re: Front Rest???
A few brand names to Google : Caldwell, Seb, Farley, Bald Eagle, Sinclair, ShadeTree. Also there are numerous shooters around Australia who make a few rests. I'd suggest going to a prize meeting with F-Class shooting to see what are being used. Costs can range from a few hundred to well over a thousand dollars. There are usually a few used ones for sale - shooters often start with something like a Caldwell, then move up to a more expensive one once they know more about the finer points of using rests.

Re: Front Rest???
Depends on your budget really. I like to buy once - cry once. At the high end, Farley, SEB and Dolphin Company have some very nice options (around $2k). Plenty of serious shooters running Farleys and SEBs. Dolphin Company is a little more exotic but runs more expensive due to the British pound. A good mid-range option would be the SEB Mini at just over a grand, that's if you want to run a co-axial rest with joystick for fine motion control.

Excellent quality but painful getting through Italian Customs, and no, I wasn't trying to smuggle it out of the country..
