bartman,
like big o said-get a rifle-58 yards, I CAN hit out to 80 yards I got sick of the mbo class i wanted to have FUN shooting and not put out thousands of dollars in equipment yearly to compete and hunt. So I went to the hunter class to accomplish two things save money on buying 1 set up instead of 2, and have fun. As far as saying " If you think you can move up to 45 yards then shoot MBR." I than would have to deal with the likes of you. The hunter class maynot be a distance shoot but the restrictions made for the shooters that CHOOSE to shoot this class is what is interesting. The bulk of the shooters in HC are not new to the IBO, so we are all capable of shooting farther, a thought for you.....if you as good as you say you are come to the HC lose the speed and stablizers and shot with the HC class...or maybe you need that extra stuff to shot better I don' t. OR maybe you can tell me how many IBO championships you have won, if you can hit living deer at 58 yards the plastic ones shouldn' t be a problem...again just some thoughts before you go on bashing a class that is now the largest in the IBO.
