He's done a ton for Bayou, a lot for NRA High Power, often out of great personal sacrifice, against popular sentiment, without support.
The eTarget initiave was likely to end up being a divisive point somewhere along it's evolution, but will be eventually reflected on as one of the greatest advancements in High Power disciplines on nearly every point...growing the sport, getting new shooters to start, bring back seasoned ones that don't/can't perform competitive pit service, fair equitable pit service for all shooters, the ability to live stream our matches to other media streams, a club can efficiently organize training/clinics to advance thier members individual and team shooting. All great things.
The delay vs no delay issue at it's core is really a question of how true to tradition should we be when advancements in technology come along?
Not just delay vs no delay...but stocks, rests, bipods, optics, chronos, ballistics, bullets, powders, reloading practices. All of these have made a records vulnerable as of late. I think Norms is safe for a while though
Trump came along and saw the future, 5, 10, 15 years from now, people may ask why there's a delay. But that time isnt now, at the present. Etarget proliferation isn't widespread. Yet.
So I'd be willing to bet a Mueller Russian collusion investigation that in the interest of keeping the Champion level shooting by the shooters of Bayou relevant with the rest of clubs that don't have eTargets yet, and wanting to continue to attract the National level talent to Bayou for it's TSRA, that a delay will likely be implemented.
If you haven't had the chance to come out and shoot one of Trump's 1000 yard ShotMarker matches at Bayou I'd encourage attendance, it's a great opportunity to shoot along side Champions/Record holder names like Weaver, Littleton, Ingram, JennB, Skogman, Frederick, and so on. When the San Antonio, Cajuns, and North Texas crowds show up, it's even better.
