Ok, but what if your spring steel rest just happened to mess up, even if it's just ONE time......that could cost someone world title too. See, the more reliable bit just doesn't hold water for me.

I mean hell, if that's the ONLY reason folks use them.......I guess all the big buck hunters best shoot only those too. They only get one shot, maybe in a year or two.

I'm not arguing, by the way. I'm really just tryng to understand what makes a SS rest so much better for target shooting....I just don't see it.

See, and once again, the only 2 reasons you gave are, more reliabe, and everybody is using them. That's the only 2 I hear........I just don't understand is all.
