I wasn't in the first place tie. I finished one target out. The two gentlemen who tied are both AA shooters and All Americans. It was getting late, the shoot off targets weren't going to count toward their averages and they were both going to walk away with a buckle regardless, so I'm sure they decided to save the shells and let a coin decide the outcome. I typically prefer to shoot it off, although I have differed to my fellow competitor at times.
However, at the 2022 Georgia State Shoot I was in a 3 way tie with money on the line. The other two gentlemen in the tie wanted to just split the money three ways. I refused, figuring I came with no money I can leave with no money. I left with the money.
