Seems like a very good format for leveling the playing field. Just be sure to bring 40 rounds plus sighters for every match.
XTR said:My one suggestion for a change to the NRA would be to seed the shooters in the relays by TR and Open discipline and not just F-class. As it was done this time we were all just put randomly into relays. In general the relays were pretty even, but there was one relay that may have had only one TR shooter, maybe two, so in that relay you pretty well make the shootoff as soon as you put one in the target for record. Not a complaint, it's the first time with this format, just a suggestion for anyone else who uses this format.

US all F-class shooters are what is keep your sport alive. Everywhere I shoot there are twice as many if not more F-class guys than sling guys. Funny enough the F-class guys are always great to talk to. Most of the sling guys are assholes. No wonder!Second, you'all F-Class shooters being there was due to the fact that International Fullbore includes F-Class, as for you'all, it was an experiment for the NRA to have you there during the National Long Range Championships. There is no indicator that they will bring the F-Class shooters back to Perry for the long range phase. You might as well as look at it right now as a one off thing.

First, the squadding routine is not going to change, it has been like that for years! And I don't believe that it is taking the high shooter from each relay into a shootoff in order to even the playing field due to wind conditions, as you allow it to be. It has been that way for a long time, the high three out of the four relays goes to the shootoff, Dad Farr shot a clean with a 1903 during the Wimbolton match in 1926 I believe the year was. He shot 70 V's in a row, shooting irons against scoped rifles. So it is not about the wind conditions and evening the playing field, it is about the high shooters duking it out for the number one slot and over all winner.

Third, being that it was your first time to Perry and not completely understanding the ways and tribulations of how it goes there, I can understand your frustration, but grasshopper, you must understand that Perry "is what it is" and roll with it. It takes years to get something changed there!
