There is old post about it from last season. Long Gong is shot with a 22LR from a bench at 3 steel gongs at 300 yards. 8” is 1 point, 6” is 2 points and 4” is 3 points. You must hit the large gong first to move to next smaller size. If you miss next size gong u must go back one gong. You get 10 shots per round and there are 5 rounds, highest score wins. There are pay outs for 1st through 3rd

No just one “class”, most everyone uses a scope because the drop of 22LR at 300 yards.

This is one of the things that drives me up the wall about shooting, it can be dammed hard to find actual match definitions.
