Does anyone know what the 'open' class is at the WFTC?
the spreadsheet has this section and I am at a loss to understand - checked the rule book...

Although Spring gun is a WFTC class I see no indication on there of who is in that class. Guess we will just have to wait for that information.

Known as the "SPRING" class .. yes it is listed as such
Result page on the bottom row is all the classes, click on class you get the shooters and there placement.

Looks like it was a hard course based on the scores.

I am well aware of open class here in the US. I saw a mark at the spreadsheet and have never heard of open class

Thanks Leo - great that they can be included.

Excellent showing in NI - both for you and the team.

So, now that the World's dust has settled, I'm curious about how the match went. Did everybody shoot the same course on the same day, or did they have 3 different courses set up and 1/3 of the groups were on each course, like in 2024 Phoenix?

Yes. Of the Worlds I've attended, shooters are split between three courses. Each shooter(squad) rotates through each course over three days.

Three separate courses. The way they split people up was a bit odd though. They basically squaded everyone straight down the line from how they finished in Pheonix, except they had the juniors, veterans and ladies on a separate course. At most worlds I have been to, the team shooters are all on the same course and then they fill in from there. Springers were on a separate course as well.

We shot with the same squad on day one and two, then they adjusted squadding based on scores for day three. Overall, it was pretty well organized and there weren't many issues that I saw.

Thanks Tyler, and congratulations on a incredible performance!

For Cameron to only be 11th in springer class, something must of gone wrong. Still great shooting we we expected more from Cameron!

I believe Cam came in 9th place. To finish in the top 10 IN SPRINGER at the World's is one heck of a feat! The level of commitment this sport takes is unreal, not to mention, he can add to his achievement the fact that he was able to share his experience with his wife and kids... not many would scoff at that!.. Kudos to the USA team!

Yes, top 10 is something we all can dream about. But it’s his own fault for setting the bar so high by winning last year and maybe the year before! Your theory of his wife also competing distracted him is a solid one though!

Well he did win it two years in a row, so yeah, we were hoping for a three-peat, which is probably the most difficult feat to pull off in sports.

You're not only good at settting the bar high for others, but for putting words in peoples mouths.... oh my bad, how many emojis makes this just funny and not passive aggressive?

I am aware that it’s the pilot and not the airplane but curiosity still make me want to see the equipment list. Any place that can be found.
