Introduced in 2019, this class is defined in Chapter 23 of the SSRs. It offers shooters with factory sporting rifles the opportunity of participating at NRAA ranges alongside TR and F-Class.

I think the least amount possible of both is a good thing. I also think that we (NRAA) shouldn't be going it alone otherwise we'll end up with an F-Std type debacle with no-one to shoot against.
The NZNRA has already written what seem to me to be a simple set of rules defining 2 classes much like what is trying to be achieved here.
THAT is a pretty perfect set of rules and basically what I was saying in my long-winded post above; a clear definition between what is a "Sporting" rifle and what is a "Hunting" rifle; they're not the same thing. Opens it right up to PSR/PRS rifles, keeps the Hunter class as "rifles for hunting" so to speak. How perfect is that!
Except - allow bloody muzzle brakes! Every other discipline does. We've actually managed to push it through for the Victorian Kings this year.

It's a divisive topic. IMO muzzle brakes are a pestilence to be eliminated from rifle ranges where F class is shot at the same time. Other than that - if dirt in your face and muzzle blast from your neighbour is your thing then go your hardest
I don't understand what they are needed for in target shooting. If their purpose is to see the shot and follow up quickly as in PSR, I get it, but that doesn't apply using F class style targets, that's what ET's are for. or for a 300 winMag in a 4.5kg hunting rifle I also get it, but it's going to shoot like shit anyway.

The internet is a stupidity distribution system designed to replace facts with opinions, so that idiots don't have to think.

That’s why we built these. 32mm acoustic ply, so they’re sound absorbing. Throw a lump of carpet down in front of the shooter and bingo, no more problems. All sporting Hunter will shoot in the same two lanes for the Vic Kings, off to one side, muzzle brakes behind the blast shields, and everyone is happy.
Depends a lot on which brake is used too. I just screwed a Terminator T3 on today to replace a Hardy brake, chalk and cheese. The Hardy blew shit everywhere, the Terminator blows cleanly sideways without kicking up dust.
