Muley anyone can shoot and you can shoot a pre-packaged shrink wrapped rifle if one wanted to.
The shooters are all separated by class now and no longer by rifle weight. Everyone that shoots the match for the first time, is put in the Sharpshooter Class because they've never shot the match before and have no previous score. Exception: the shooter would actually ask to be placed in a higher class.
There are 3 different classes: Master.... Expert.... Sharpshooter.
Those who have shot and scored in previous matches, are put into their respective class by their highest score. Some may always shoot in Sharpshooter and never move up. NOW DO NOT HOLD ME TO THIS... BUT I WILL FIND OUT....
I think Sharpshooter is 0 to 152, Expert 153 to 163 and Master 164 and higher.
This way new or less advanced shooters are not competing with others more advanced.
