Camron Rust: Thanks for putting the time and effort into your post. It's legal for the shooter to have the back of his heel on the semicircle line. In terms of intellectual curiosity, this has been a fun thread, and I'm pleased that you brought some closure to it. All along I thought that edges were the real boundaries, so I was having trouble understanding how the entire thickness of the semicircle could be relevant. Thanks.
