Thanks for the clarification, Phil. But, I still can't understand why you, and many others, consider this a problem. Absolutely, low gun is harder to master than pre-mount, I totally agree. But, what is the problem with that? Why do some think they need to dictate the skill level that they think others need? And, since we agree that low-gun is much harder to master, why would ALLOWING that attract trap and skeet shooters?
Again, why does the fact that serious competitors shoot pre-mount Sporting scare new shooters away? I haven't seen that to be the case in my 9-10 years of competition. New shooters almost universally adopt pre-mount once they try it (on their own, nobody telling them to) because it is sooooo much easier.
It just seems to me that low-gun advocates that are "anti premount" have a holier than thou attitude about it, and want the whole world to conform to their idea of what is best, and right. Not saying that is you, Phil, but there certainly is that type around, and they are very vocal.

Stan,
Allowing pre-mount "aka any mount" in classes h-c would attract skeet and trap shooters and allow new shooters an easier entry to the sport. Requiring low gun in b-m insures that good gun skills are a component in advancement.
