[Archers] A question for the group

[Eldred AElfwald]

As a crossbow user, I believe allowing the use of a tripod would provide an excessive advantage.

Being one of those "evil" crossbow shooters, I would also support the ban on tripod/staff supports for several reasons.  First as Cog pointed out, competitiveness.  Second, at the ranges we typically shoot there are plenty of other ways to brace the front of the crossbow to get stability (granted not quite at that level).

However, I would hope that in the case of a truly handicapped (to the point of the complete inability to shoot without it, ie missing/unusable hand/arm) individuals would be allowed to use one as well as fully and openly compete at both events and RRs.  But that should be on a case by case basis, by need only.
