I agree with the need to weigh.... that is why we had scales out and a list of names for people to weigh their rifle and have the RO sign to verify the weight for all light guns at our match in Batemans Bay.

We will do that at all registered matches .

I think the rules leave no room for later changes of entry class.... once the first shot is fired, if the rifle fails the class, it is disqualified. Rule 3.1.1.3 states that the light gun limit is 17lb (7.711kg). There is no mention of an ability to move up during the shoot.... only a hard weight limit for LG class.

It does not specify mandatory weigh in..... but clearly the weight limit is there for the organisers of events to enforce if they so choose.

As the placings can effect SOTY I think all LG's should be weighed... not just the winners.

Cheers
