I am sure the Michigan boys will entertain you. They would need to give their calendar

Bill there is a great SxS shoot in Medford WI, it is always on Fathers Day weekend in June, great targets, great people just great fun. In July there is the Duluth shoot in MN that is a nice shoot and there is a new shoot that started this fall in MI in Petoskey that was suppose to have gone very well. I'm going to try and make that shoot next year.

Here in Lower Michigan there's three shoots in April, May, and June at Freeland, Lapeer [ mine ] , and Grand Blank [ Flint area ]. All are one day shoots on a Saturday and don't cost more than $50 including food. Email me at bladesmith46@hotmail.com and I'll add you to our mailing list. A lot of the guys don't even turn in their scores, they just come to shoot and show off their guns and BS with one another. Oh, and eat a steak dinner.

I think it does put a lot of guys off that all the shooters who make the teams are essentially "ringers" anymore. I went the first several years and enjoyed it. But finally it started feeling like a rerun of exactly the same thing I'd done before, so I just stopped going.

I've suggested it before, and I'll suggest it again. Once you've been on the winning team twice, you should be officially retired from the competition. Give some other guys a chance, and keep it interesting. Heck if I had a vague chance of making the squad I might start going again, and I think other guys would too.

At the threat of running off some of the most interested attendees of the Parker vs L.C. Smith competition, I agree with Destry that two years in a row on the team is enough, and maybe after two years off, a competitor could shoot on the team one year again.

Maybe they should accept the top 5 and bottom 5 to make up the 10 person team. ???

This is an interesting thread from my perspective of running Parker's part of the Spring Southern.

For the Fall Southern, we take the top 5 shooters and then the top youth shooter, lady shooter, senior shooter, super senior shooter and then a random shooter from those in the qualifying round

Yes it is.

Sadly it's in the fall when my time is spent shooting birds made from flesh rather than clay.
