Does the rest top have to have a sand bag on it to compete in 100 yd benchrest?
Sounds like a stupid question but I have my reasons.

The below excerpt fro the IBS rules Section H, II says among other things that the front rest must have a bag with at least 1/2" of sand between bottom of rifle and top of rest.
3) The rear sandbag shall be a bag, or combination of bags containing sand only. Zirconium silicate, known as “heavy sand”, is allowed. No other metallic sand will be used by any competitor. A vertical spacer under the rear bag will be allowed as long as it incorporates no adjustments for windage or elevation. The vertical spacer shall not contain any protrusions, which can be inserted into the bench top or the sandbag. The rear sandbag shall not be contained in any manner. The rear sandbag cannot in any way attach to the front rest.
4) The front bag must be such that the rifle can be easily removed in the vertical direction without any front sand bag adjustment. The bag must also be designed to maintain a 100% contact with the bottom of the fore-end when in its shooting position. The cover and filling of the front bag shall meet the requirements described in paragraph (3) concerning the rear bags. The front bag shall also be a minimum of one half inch thick in the vertical direction within the width of the fore-end.

Dick.... Can the front rest be clamped down to the bench to prevent it from moving??

Francis is correct
My good friend Ron
Why don't you check the rules, there is a section on rests in the IBS rulebook the first thing it says is
"1) A front rest shall support the front part of a rifle: a rear rest shall support the rear part of a rifle; neither rest may be attached to the bench,"
