lol.... that's putting it in perspective with a sledge hammer
Ik rollen rond lachen

 It is a fact that the origin of "Factory Class" was to encourage newer shooters to have a go... however anytime you get a competitive group entering an event, there will be the need to curtail some things with rules, that's part of the competition and the ones we have do a reasonable job of this....

Good healthy discussion does not hurt, and PvM has certainly expressed a valid perspective and I am sure some will agree and some not so much.... I like to have a crack now and then with my factory .308, I know Les has a ball with the crow gun from a bipod ..... but lets all be aware of not making it daunting for the newer/club level shooters.... That said... the event would not be worthwhile to anyone if only 5 people competed in it !!

However you look at it, it is there as a supplementary class...... both for a bit of fun and to encourage the newer shooters to have a go with what they already have in the safe.....

Cheers
