You still have to check the gun weights which takes nearly as along as the velocity check. I would hate to do that halfway through a match to find out I’m 1 ounce over weight and I’m screwed. I’m also not sure how they’d collect velocity on a stage. I’ve never seen a troop line which you may...
Other than the 7 PRC, your list has everything you need. The PRC is gonna beat you up over 20 stages and make it harder to spot impacts but it's your hunting gun so roll with it.

That must have been a Hunter One match. In a 2-day Hunter match everything is blind. I must have missed the fact that we were discussing Hunter One.
Last weekend's match in Florence, CO, was the most difficult Hunter match I've ever shot. Took a while to find all the targets (still didn't...
I’ve used the Wiser in a couple Hunter matches and didn’t like the levers getting in the way. They also make it easy to loosen by accident.
In match mode, I leave the pan and tilt at a specific setting so I made some knurled knobs. Small enough to not get in the way and no lever to bump and...
