Good point.Records should be separate. They have always been separated by scope/irons for long range, mid range, and Smallbore, sonit only stands to reason that OTC would be separated also.

Not going to happen, since scopes and irons are shot in the same category (if that is the right wording); the shooter has the choice of sights and may handicap him/herself voluntarily by choosing irons.
They just followed the Military. They all use scopes now, so how is it that you are upset bout Service Rifles with iron sights competing with 4X scopes. Those so called iron sights (Civilian) have always had a power booster in the rear or front sight.
Believe that the NRA was kinda forced into it because the CMP went that direction. Cannot state this with complete authority, but it my understanding is that one of the military teams told the CMP, "hey, we train our soldiers with optics and that's the direction we are heading". CMP made optics a go and NRA followed suit across the Service Rifle division as well as the Match Rifle class for NMC.[/QUOTE
This is also what I was told by the CMP, "The military forced the switch". To bad someone forgot to remind the CMP that the "C" stands for civilian. It would have been nice if they had at least asked for a vote from the shooters regarding separation of classes before it was shoved on us. Hum,,, and they wonder why attendance is down,,,
