Anyone able to break down those classes for me? I'm wanting to get into rifle matches once crap clears up seems like this would be a fun one to go to.

Hopefully someone remembers for sure and corrects whatever I get wrong, but as far as I remember:
Limited: irons or non magnified optic, 30 round mags and maybe no bipod?
Maybe non optic pistol as well?Tactical: magnified optics, 30 round mags and maybe no bipod?
Maybe non optic pistol as well?Open: anything and everything, optics, mags, bipods, etc.
Trooper: I'm pretty sure the same as open, but you have to carry everything on you the entire match (ammo, water, extra parts in case your firearms break), you might also have to do extra physical requirements (2 years ago that was the case, can't remember about last year), people run in armor here as well, but I don't think it's required, once again, could be totally wrong.
Heavy: large caliber weapons shoot in the classes above based on features, but only require one hit per target as opposed to the 2 hits that intermediate cartridges require.
This match always has awkward shooting angles and at least a couple pretty good distance targets. The heat (at least for me) screws with my mind and makes me forget everything I know, so it's a trip to shoot this match, you'll learn a lot about yourself and your shooting, that's for sure! Make sure to have sunscreen, keep your skin covered, and a lot of water and electrolytes (especially if running armor!).
