New Shooter Equipment Question

In Smallbore 50 meter 3 position for women, is it legal to use a palm rest or a "riser" block in the prone or kneeling position? I see it says palm rest yes, standing in the rules, but I know I have talked to another parent whose son is shooting, and they were showing me his blocks he had-...
