Sunnyvale Rod and Gun Club (actually in Cupertino) is open to the public on Tuesdays and Saturdays. We usually have one match on the first Saturday making it easy for non-members to attend. We also have 2 more matches on Friday’s and I arrange for any non-members wanting to shoot to meet me at...

Sportsman is 100% factory built guns without limit to cost. Factory class is for inexpensive rimfire guns. My Annie could not compete in Pro class. And the inexpensive factory rimfires have factory class to compete in.

Even with the rule change I decided it was not fair to shoot it in Sportsman Class. I will shoot my Annie with the other rimfires in that class.

Today we had 5 shooters show up for fairly mild conditions.

Separate guns for each is the way to go

Can’t beat your Suhl in sportsman not matter what I shoot. Haha

Since the rule was not done prior to the start of the season and I was not given the opportunity to shoot my first match as Sportsman, I am going to consider it retroactive to April 1.

“factory configured” if I understand you correctly would mean I could shoot my Thomas Slug gun in Sportsman Class. I bought it the way I shoot it and that is the way Thomas sold it and I have not modified it. I like it the way it is right now.

Today was first match of the new “Summer” season. We had a great turnout of 9 shooters with some new faces. Conditions were a little switchy, but if careful could get some good scores.

It means 100% factory built rifle. Every component has to be manufactured by the factory selling it. Similar to the new Factory class, but price has no limit.

I agree with calendar year, but I would since I am in California and we can have more matches. It is easier to drop off a low match when you shoot a lot. The cold weather folks did not think it was fair that we shoot all year. To me allowing 3 matches per venue was enough of a change. But...

Fairly good conditions today with 5 shooters showing up.

I will plead the 5th

Today, for a Friday had a nice turnout of 6 shooters. Wind only made it a little difficult on the 2nd target. See revised result as I was told Phil had an aftermarket barrel requiring he be moved to pro class.

We had 5 shooters show up for our Friday N50 match. It was very cold, windy and switchy.
