Why no 40X's?? Are you afraid that someone with one might take first place?

Dave you got it right, we changed the name and reduced the yardage, that is basically what was done. You made the correct assumption.

The 40x has never been seen as a factory rifle at St Thomas,
that has held true for the past 7 or 8 years.
All most every year we have that discussion about 40x rifles.
their are not enough votes to change that rule.
