February marks the first month that the new Division rules take effect.
- Open Division is now defined as a competitor using a rifle and scope with a combined cost of over $1600 USD MSRP. This does not include rails, mounts and other attachment devices.
- Production Division – shooters competing with rifle and optics below the $1600 USD MSRP (as listed on the company’s website). You may not replace your original barrel unless replacing it with an original barrel with the same specifications. You may bed your rifle’s action and you may also tune (springs, polishing, stoning) your current trigger but are not allowed to use an aftermarket replacement trigger. You are not allowed to replace the stock with a different stock or chassis. A change in stock will necessitate the recalculation of the MSRP based on the new configuration. If the new rifle configuration is not available from the manufacturer, the MSRP would need to be updated with the cost of the new stock/chassis.
- Semi-Auto - all competitors using a semi-automatic rifle.
- Airgun – any and all .22 calibre air rifles, regardless of price, will compete in the Airgun division.
- Pellets and slugs must be mass produced and cannot exceed 49 grains.
- For safety reasons, tethered air tanks are not allowed.
- Stealth – The stealth division is for competitors who desire to compete but require an altered string or course of fire. This may be due to range of motion issues or new competitors requiring extra coaching/assistance to adopt shooting positions or make impacts. Stealth competitors are allowed to alter the shooting position, sequence and, within reason, allotted more time to complete their string of fire.
We also have 3 alternate Categories you may choose in addition to your chosen division:
- Ladies – regardless of age
- Senior – Anyone turning 55 years or older at any point in the season is eligible to shoot in the Seniors category.
- Youth – Anyone 18 years or younger for the entire season is eligible to shoot in the Youth category.
Medals will be awarded for the Top Lady, Top Senior and Top Youth.
