no where in the rule does it say how to get to your lie or establish your stance, only that you must choose the stance with the least movement of obstacles. doesn't this mean you could go into the bush from any direction to establish your lie/stance as long as the
stance you choose is the one with the least movement of any obstacle?
now one could argue that going in from the front is moving an obstacle in order to make room for your throwing motion, but as long as all the branches return to how they were before you entered, there shouldn't be a problem... what is interesting is the
q/a that states you can't knock down a spiderweb in front of your lie, so if there happens to be a spiderweb you cannot go to your lie from the front; which your opponent could then argue there was a spiderweb you didn't see. i guess to avoid any possible call you should approach your lie from behind.
