Shooting accessoires and intern. shooting rules???

@all

I own a Pedersoli Tryon Creedmore for target shooting and hunting purpose. Now my problem is: while shooting at 50 meters (54 yards) in standing position I have a several problems to hold the rifle while aiming the target.


Due to that fact I build a so called stock holder (see picture below)

My particular question now is; according to the international shooting rules, can I use this kind of holder for target shooting at international shooting events?

Try shooting off that question to the Muzzle Loaders Associations' International Committee...
http://www.mlaic.org/

In their Constitution and Rules section it states: B) Palm supports - Palm supports must be original or a reproduction of an original type and only used on firearms designed to have this attachment.

 

Also you may catch some grief over your aperture sight.

M.L.A.I.C.
CONSTITUTION, RULES & REGULATIONS reguarding Aperture sights...

B) Free Rifles - Any original muzzle loading rifle not qualifying as a Military rifle in A) above, with contemporary sights (excluding telescopic or optical) for use in competitions Nos. 2, 4, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20 and 24
The following shall apply:

1) Aperture sights (including modern made replica sights) are permitted providing their design is consistent with the period of manufacture and appropriate to the type of firearm. This applies to both rear and fore-sights. NB The periods of manufacture in relation to the pattern of sights are: up to 1750 for matchlocks, up to 1850 for flintlocks, and up to 1890 for percussion.

As stated in th rules:
1) Aperture sights (including modern made replica sights) are permitted providing their design is consistent with the period of manufacture and appropriate to the type of firearm. This applies to both rear and fore-sights.

The periods of manufacture in relation to the pattern of sights are: up to 1750 for matchlocks, up to 1850 for flintlocks, and up to 1890 for percussion.

So, I take that as a YES...

The style of rear sight your gun has was in use before 1890 so it should be legal.

As your palm rest is not attached to the rifle, I don't know if it would be legal or not. If it were attached to the rifle, I still don't know if it is legal.
