Parker Wins Challenge

[Craig Larter]

One difficulty Fox ran into was fielding a team under the top 5 score method. After a few years most average shots realized making the team by score was futile, it's nearly always the same guys. So many average shots never shot for score since shooting not for score is cheaper and the chances of qualifying were nil. The pool of Fox shooters is much smaller the Parker, the paid membership is one third.
One change I liked was holding the shoot off on Friday since many leave Friday to be home for the weekend.

Actually, all the rules says for qualifying is that you must shoot a 50 bird field event. Doesn't say whether that is an "official" round or a "fun" round. As long as the same targets are shot and the cards are checked at the Fox booth you should be good.
