Hunter Class Score Competition

[Websurfer]

Jackie, I like your club’s VFS categories. Maybe we need something similar for Hunter class?
Just thinking we need more gateways for more folks to join our circle.
In my case, my starting USBR with a “plinker” class rimfire led eventually to my rimfire bench gun. And my factory made 6ppc led me to full blown custom rifles for VFS and group shooting.

As someone who hunts and does varmint shooting and being an outsider looking it (currently a non-competitor) I would have to agree that PRS style doesn't belong in hunting, it however would fit in varminting just fine and of course PRS. As for hunting, I have lots of hunting rifles, mostly small calibers and none of them weigh less than 9lbs with a scope shoot well enough to compete with. The only one that shoots <1/2moa is 10.4lbs, and sure I could rebarrel something else to shoot better and be lighter, but I might as well build a custom gun just for hunter if i was going to do that and then I'd never actually hunt with it. so... um yeah. Just saying.

As for the comment about younger folks not being able to afford the sport, have you seen what they spend on PRS? Those folks that got in early are already saying they are slowing down and it's only natural that they will migrate to your side of the game. Those young folks don't stay young... target them as they get older there will be a steady supply.
