Interesting, but wonder why this rule? Many of our "Aged Eyes" benefit from this up close and personal imagery.

First off, as a shooter, I like the idea of breaking down classifications in more ways. I liked it when the NRA implemented 22 only and open sights classes. In my personal score tracking spreadsheet I keep track of the caliber, gun, dot/open sights, ammo, range etc so I can look at my scores based on any of those factors.

As a shooter, breaking classifications down further weakens the competition at a match, How many matches are held that don't have full competitive classes (for the sake of argument 4-5 shooters per class)? What if you only have one person show up that wants to shoot in a special class (say purple hat orange shoes class) do you recognize that sole shooter or do you put them in to another class? From the perspective of running a match the more special categories you add the less "special" they become and they have a participation trophy vibe. Not to mention they add additional work both on the front end and back end of the match.

The CMP has 7 discrete rule books, I am sure participants in other disciplines have similar minor complaints. I would bet the "low hanging fruit" is probably much more work that many would like to realize.

As far as the AMU getting special treatment, a handful at Perry last year would likely disagree.

Never said CMP isn't doing better than the NRA. But, there is room for improvement and the CMP has been approached about these suggested changes by more than just me.

I bet if the AMU asked for these changes, it'd be implemented ASAP.
