[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2237077, member: 63925"] BOOM! So a heavy rifle to one person is not to another? I am 71 and still carry my 12lb Sendero at altitude and has never bothered me at all. Why should I be penalized for someone else not wanting to carry weight? How about adding in a 40 lb pack then? I am 6'4" 260 so I have different perspective. Guys in condition have same opinion as well no matter their s Maybe penalized over 6'?😂 C'mon man! This is a hunting shoot and if the weight is an issue add in a max weight that is not typical for hunting at altitude if that is major concern. Long heavy contour barrels on .27, .30 , .33 maxing out for long high BC bullets is not atypical at all. Energy on target is a paper chase when using against non standard bullets. Who decides minimal energy? I believe 2K ft lbs for bison and elk. You believe 1K ft lbs for them. Who is right? Some think 500 ft lbs is plenty for whitetails. Not me. Where is there a "standard" that we are suppose to be in compliance with? High shoulder hits require less energy according to some and not so fast from others. My understanding is the purpose of the shoot is to mirror hunting environmental conditions with basic class established. Anything else becomes a P match. [/QUOTE]
