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).<br>
<br>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.<br>
