I think that Les has not thought this through. BUT to only benefit himself.
Some fellow fly shooters are not made of money and have to share equipment between shooters.
As Bench draws go most people organise a bench prior to the event. Therefor people sharing equiptment can organise ahead. Any person that doesnt take the time to organise a bench with the organisers will be allocated a bench on the day.
I think he is forgetting that the fly shoots are about having fun and not only winning.
e.g. Rule 10 on fly target states ANY COMPETITOR FOUND NOT ENJOYING THEMSELVES WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
Why should it matter if you enter the same light gun in Heavy gun class, you have a disadvantage of cleaning copper fouling ect. At the end of the day we're there to have fun in our sport not worry how many times a firearm is shot in a class.
I think with rules like Les is putting forward will make it hard for people starting out and potentially scare them away.

Like the old saying goes IF IT AINT BROKE THEN DONT FIX IT..
