It would be nice if there was a 5-shot WW1/WW2 Historic class, where Mosin's, G98/K98k, P14/P17, M1903's etc.,etc could compete together.lapua338 wrote:That's all the explanation you need. The course of fire is designed for the Enfield. It's maintaining the ethos of the class. The competition would fall into disrepute if they accommodated all and sundry. As soon as you do someone a kindness or a favour (with 'Can I shoot this?' or 'Can I shoot that?') then the Historic Enfield class ceases to be.It's called Historic Enfield class for a reason
If you feel that strongly why not start a class for Long Lee's or K31's? I have a K31 and it's a great rifle, however, I wouldn't demand to shoot in a competition for Historic Enfield's.
I'm hoping to persuade the 3 other club members with Lee-Enfields in my club to consider CSR with a view to a team to enter an event at some point, but only two of them so far are showing any interest.
And on the OP's point of view which I can understand, as one other club member is very interested (thus making 4) but he has a P17 not a Lee-Enfield.
