so just to be clear,
you are entitled to an OPINION,
but i am NOT.
YOU SEEM TO HAVE A REAL ISSUE DEALING WITH OPINIONS.
Hey there sport, sorry for the slow reply. I was off shooting a match yesterday, having a great time with my friends, doing what I love to do.....shooting cards.....sanctioned cards.
There is a huge difference between voicing an opinion and blatantly misquoting the rules of a sanctioning body over and over again on gun forums. Of course, that has nothing to do with me having an issue with other's opinions, but has everything to do with people who lie and spread misinformation to support 'their' opinions.....such as you.
Nobody that has much experience shooting sanctioned rifle matches is going to support you still whining, pissing, and moaning about your rifle not being allowed in the ARA Factory class. Here's an example for you. I don't just shoot ARA, I also shoot IR50/50 3-Gun. Part of that is Sorter class, which has a 6.5X limit on scope power. Now, do I like that rule, not really. Do I think I could shoot better scores in Sporter with a higher limit, of course I do. Do I go on benchrest forums and complain about that rule.....to EXCESS.....under the guise of voicing an opinion? No, it's a rule and it's the same for everybody. Do I misinform others about what the rule states in an effort to support my baseless claim of why it isn't fair?.....nope, don't do that either. There's a difference between voicing an opinion and derogating a sanctioning body by not typing the truth about what their rules state. You have gone way beyond voicing an opinion.
I would say that you are the one having an 'issue'. Keep pulling on that udder if you wish sport, but it isn't going to give up anymore milk! I support sanctioned RFBR with everything I have to give. I do it by participating, by helping new guys when I am able to add something, and by supporting the sanctioning bodies that do their best to provide a safe and structured protocol for a level playing field across their classes. Sorry that's something you don't understand, but I'm not going to let you infer I have an issue with other's 'opinions' because you don't get it. Nor will I post untrue information to others, trying to undermine the good that sanctioned shooting brings to the table, like a fair and level playing field.
Best of luck to you.........Scott
