RE: So much for the hunter class being a beginners class?
Maybe I' m wrong but I don' t believe the Hunter class was designed to be or was ever called a beginners class. I know people that have been shooting for years and they are competing in the HC though some of their scores don' t necessarily reflect all their years of experience though.
I think the HC was designed for the folks that don' t have all the more expensive equipment to compete in the higher up classes.
I believe there' s a rule in place stating that if a person wins twice in year they have to move up. Until that happens and as long as they stay within eqipment rules I' d say they have the right to shoot in HC.
JMHO...
