Here’s what I’ve learned from all the shooting comps I’ve been too.
1, Someone will complain regardless of how fair you try make the rules
2, People will always get competitive and try and buy their way to the top
3, Someone will always try and game the rules, not breaking them but not acting in the spirit of the rules
For the most part all these people will never be the best shooters and usually not be even close to winning regardless, as:
4, the best shooters will always win regardless of what gear restrictions/rules you impose
Make rules realistic, fair, and simple.
If people complain and think they are behind hard done by, check to see if they have a point or are just whinging.
Too many rules will be off putting to new shooters, if one guy turns up with a $10,000 Blaser and Zeiss scope, and another a $800 Howa with a $200 Burris, well that’s actually representative of what guys hunt with.
