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.

That's good thinking. Much more fair to shoot the exact same scores using match Rimfire instead.

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.That's good thinking. Much more fair to shoot the exact same scores using match Rimfire instead.

The intent of the sportsman class was to have factory produced slug guns go against factory produced Rimfire with no cost limit. That turned out to be ridiculously optimistic on the airgun side. Not a single factory slug gun in 4 years has been able to keep up with even the low cost factory Rimfires....let alone the match rimfires in sportsman.
Continuing to do the same thing doesn't make sense on any level.

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 the gate so I can let them in.

Is a rule change coming to score the "Match RF rifles and Match .22 slug guns" in sportsman class with the Pro plug? It might allow the pellet rifle shooters a chance to even things up.
