Geesh-h-h!
We gotta talk about these things.
I just got off the phone with Gene. After talking several times with Levy and discussing this, WE agree that although this shelf looks different, it is in fact the shelf and not an elevated rest, as such, as referred to in the rules.
Also we are of the opinion (and are referringthis description to the entire board) that the wording referring to "no elevated rest" is superflous to the rule.
The rule refers to being shot from the shelf with a covering of no more than 1/8' thick piece of leather or similar materialcoveringthe shelf.
