There are so many classes nowadays it ain't hard to be confused. You would simply shoot in US class (Unlimited Standing)

Would I be competing against shooters using Scopes???? As that is also Unlimited Standing ???? Seems like Open Sight Shooters are at a disadvantage when using an Unlimited Gun
(over 10 3/4" Barrel) I like shooting Iron Sights and the extra barrel length gives me a little more velocity as well as a longer sight length.
Thanks

by high standard 40
There is no unfair advantage with a scope in Unlimited standing. You will only shoot in a class with other shooters of a similar skill level, with or without a scope. I have won my class in US with iron sights against scoped shooters before. If you are AA with irons sights and another shooter is AA with a scope, you are both still AA.

Rick, like I said it's confusing. So I got out the rule book and there are 3 Unlimited categories:
Unlimited (freestyle) any safe position allowed by rules
Unlimited Any Sight (just as it says "Any Sight") any safe position allowed by rules
Unlimited Standing (Rule Book does not differentiate between open sights and scopes. So I guess the short answer is, YES you would shoot against scopes. If I am wrong someone please correct me.

High Standard 40....Good point...never thought of it that way....30 out of 40 with or without scope is still AAA...who's the better shooter...WHO CARES....at 64 Years Old
