Hi all,
Haven't shot Air Rifle since high school, in smallbore at NRA matches the scope is permitted on the anysights class...(I think), what about Air Rifle? is there such a thing as Air Rifle Any Sights? I mean, at NRA level , I know at ISSF it is considered impossible. Can I show up with a scoped Air Rifle at a PTO? and shoot.

According to recent matches results, it is "proven" that the scope does not bring any advantage compared to open (traditional) sights. I just think that slapping a scope on a air rifle is way more economical and simple than finding my old FWB sights,, or to buy a new set of Centras... etc.

thanks for your answers.

any matches in Arizona/Phoenix area??

I know that at Phoenix Rod & Gun, there is only one adult air rifle shooter (iron sights), but there is a small Junior air rifle program.

You are welcome to shoot air rifle (USA Shooting) at our pistol matches; maybe you could stir up some competition.

I have heard of a private range recently opening that is soliciting airgun shooters, but you'd have to do a search to find it.
