B just alerted me to this. I'm going to try and make it to this - it will be my first competition.

Help a total competition noob out here - I have a PCP carbine shooting 15fpe in .22 - would that be appropriate (I know .177 is better, but I don't have a .177 setup I would use right now) - and what class would I shoot? I'm gong to read through the rules PDF and I don't want to bulk up this thread with details, so if anyone could PM me to chat I would appreciate it.
 
Ctshooter,

I will send you a PM. You can shoot unlimited class if you do not have a range-finding scope but have a laser range finder. We do not shoot from a bench. So bring a shooting sticks and a pad or stool to sit on. Your rifle should be fine since it is under 20 FPE. You can watch this YouTube video of a person shooting hunter PCP class.

Your .22 will be fine to get you started, I’m shooting unlimited class prone of bipod or sitting of tripod and use rangefinder. 
Any other class got restrictions like scope magnification in hunter class no bipods attached or tripods and no rangefinders. 
Any questions shoot me a PM.
