Practical Hunter Clarification
Posted: Thu Dec 28, 2023 11:17 am
So I've read through several other threads and I don't feel that my questions were ever really answered. I'm potentially interested in getting back into silhouette shooting through the Practical Hunter discipline.
Smallbore seems clear enough...any pistol that is < 21" overall and the scope is 6x or less
Short Course gets more confusing...still limited to the 21" oal or is there some sort of secondary barrel length restriction? As I measure the Contender any sub-carbine length barrel would fit inside that constraint? Obviously the scope is still 6x or under. Field Pistol cartridges only.
I'm not looking to start a holy-war on what the rules should or shouldn't be...mostly what is current. I also understand that match directors have a pretty broad latitude for deciding and at local matches it's likely not an issue.
