You've admitted that you broke a rule. You still haven't answered my question on whether or not you knew that glove was against the rules or not when you started using. As long as you've been in the game, I doubt that anyone reading this believes that you didn't.
I never wrote that it was right that people got more scrutiny when they won than when they were middle of the pack. I just wrote that you implying that it was unusual and an obvious sign of malice was incorrect. You suggested that I wrote that it was right/fair and then argued against it. That's called a straw man argument and is a common technique used when unable to disprove the actual statement. Nice try. See below for more info.

I also never wrote that the protest was perfect and the jury selection didn't violate any rules. It's clear from rule 11.2.1.
Jury members shall exempt themselves from ruling on a matter in which they are personally involved.
Of course, that means that in the protest against a match winner that every single competitor is personally involved to some extend and therefore ineligible to be on the jury. That's a bit of a problem, though. Here's rule 20.10.
At all NRA Sanctioned matches, the Match Sponsor shall appoint a Jury to be composed of persons who may or may not be competitors in the match, who are recognized as Metallic Silhouette shooters and who are familiar with the NRA Rules governing Silhouette matches (see Rule 11.2.1). Tournament Officials may not serve as members of the Jury. This Jury shall act on any protest or dispute concerning procedures, equipment or any other question which may arise during the tournament.
If the jury has to be someone recognized as a Metallic Silhouette shooter and who is familiar with the rules but can't be a tournament official, but in this case couldn't be anyone who actually competed in the match who would therefore benefit from disqualification from the match winner, then where would the three jury members come from? The answer is that it doesn't matter because what's done is done and there's no going back in time to do it over.
You can try again and again to deflect blame to others about the protest, but the simple fact is that you cheated. The reason that I wrote what I did is that you clearly have the mindset that you're just the victim and can use whatever you can get away with to help even the playing field. From this page that you wrote and have edited multiple times now that you've been called out about it, that is very clear. Notice that the link hasn't changed to "How I and others cheated" on the mainpage...
"How I was Cheated"

That is what I was calling out as BS. Yes, you've had injuries. So have many others, including me. Your pictures of your right hand and shoe being worn slightly more on one side to try to elicit sympathy are a joke. I've had my right hand reconstructed, including having multiple bones fused together, resulting in much weaker grip strength than normal. Who cares? What does that even have to do with what you're writing about other than trying to portray yourself as a victim.
Here's what I was specifically calling out as the NRA decision also stating that you should have known you were breaking the rules.
4. The competitor admits to a violation of Rule 3.18 by failing to have the “archery glove” reviewed by the Match Director prior to using it in the tournament. However, a warning to remove the “glove” should have been sufficient with further action taken if the “glove” was not removed. The competitor needs to be more aware of the rules and their requirements.
Now, you also claim that I'm only speaking out on this to defend my friends. Let's examine that a bit. The names that you are specifically saying conspired to cheat you are David Bonner, Jim Beckley, Jim Goodnight, Eric Sundstrom and Kathleen Garvin. I do actually call David Bonner a friend, as he is a nice guy who has helped me with my shooting on multiple occasions at some of the bigger matches. I have seen Jim Goodnight, Eric Sundstrom and Kathleen Garvin at big matches, but I don't remember ever speaking to them directly. I am not sure if they would even recognize me, as I'm not really in their league when it comes to history or experience at big matches. I don't think I've ever even met Jim Beckley. Again, this has nothing to do with what we're discussing, just like the injury pictures and is part of sob story of you being a victim that everyone ganged up against.
Now, with all of that said, I'm amazed that you are still pushing this and getting it more exposure. What started as "How I was cheated" has ended up at least as negative for you as much as everyone else you're slinging mud at and also for the sport. I'm actually impressed with those you're accusing of conspiracy that they aren't calling you out for every little time you're broken the rules even when it didn't work and you didn't win. I don't think it's going to help anything if someone actually takes time to do that, so let's hope they don't.
Why not just let this go away? We can let this thread die and you can remove that page from your site so we can all go back to sending new shooters there for information on how to get started in the sport of rifle silhouette? As I wrote previously, that site was a great resource until this incident and I think it can go back to that.
