I've shot highpower - F-class.

What residents probably don't realize either, Letkemann says, is that it's your doctors, lawyers, teachers, government workers and police officers who use the facility.

I belong to a private outdoor range in Racine, WI, and the vast majority of it's members are blue collar union workers. I have yet to meet a doctor, a lawyer, or a teacher there.

I looked through the rules and I think you shoot in the 3.2 Any Rifle Rules. I have never seen anyone shoot who had a scope. In fact, I have only seen one match rifle lately. We're using the NRA High Power Rifle Rules.

I shoot with Doctors, Nurses, and people who have a little bit of disposable income. The only reason I know the people were doctors and nurses was they all worked at the same hospital and they talked shop a couple of times. We don't talk a lot about our jobs. I shot with a guy for about a year and I found out later he worked a few feet from me but on another shift. I may have even met him at work a couple of times but since I retired, I have forgotten a lot of people.

I go to a range here in Oregon to shoot High power matches and two of the best shooters are tenured university professors. Many of the other better shooters are machinists, i guess because they get cheap homemade parts or something!?! Seriously though, most of the hardcore match shooters I see a lot are very wealthy professional white-collar types.
