Oh dear... I got this one.
No.
You have not seen all the pictures.
Springers are welcome. Unfortunately Springers would need the capability to compete at a competitive level along side high powered PCP. And, if you paid to enter the event, if your traveling 1900 miles over 7-9 expensive days to compete you should understand your capabilities, and the capabilities of your competition. This is EXTREME
And, the Brand slap, COME ON. Please come to a event with or with out a gun. Make friends here and there. The people who attend these events will lend, help and even carry you to a competitive level. I know I would.
