Coming back to IHMSA after 30 years, a gun/sight question

[JimHanus]

First post for me. Been away for a while (30 years) but I would like to come back and shoot big bore again. I shot AAA Unlimited with a Contender in both 7TCU and 357 Herrett with open sights. Pretty sure open sights won't work for me any more, and was wondering what class I can shoot with the Contender and a scope mounted. Thanks!

Welcome back, Jim!
There are several classes you can shoot your scoped TC. UAS, which is unlimited any sight, shot freestyle on BB targets.
Also UASHS, freestyle on the half scale targets, US(unlimited standing), shot from the standing position, on BB targets.
Where are you located?
Again, good to have you back!

Thanks. Michigan, only 3 ranges left and the closest is 2.5 hours away. Still willing to commit if I only shoot once a month.

Welcome back!!!! Scoped guns have kept a lot of us old timers in the game. Still the same fun as 30 years ago. More laid back matches these days. Have fun.

1 other you can shoot is practical hunter as long as you keep your scope power under 6X when shooting.

If you're in southern Mi. you can go to TUSCO Oh. Just south of Canton. At least try to make Tres Banditos.

Logan Handgun Association is in west central OH just north of Bellefontaine, OH. Probably a two hour drive from Toledo. We would be happy to have you attend our matches.
