Amen.

I'm not a competitive or competent shooter LOL so the 5 stands were great for me. Rick and his crew did a marvelous job with the 5 stands. I can shoot a clay course at home without a wait.

For what it’s worth, I was in the clubhouse Saturday afternoon turning in a card I wasn’t going to have time to shoot and a couple guys were talking about some reasons they had heard for the changes and the woman behind the counter very straight forwardly said: we made the change because every year we have lots of folks complaining that they don’t get to shoot with their friends because the shoot different gauges so they thought they would give this a try. I clearly didn’t work and we have learned from it and next year will e back to the normal course.

To be honest it doesn’t hurt my feelings to shoot less in NC , because I know I can shoot a boatload of targets later in the year at Rock Mountain and Backwoods :cool:

I agree, at the least my cargo will be lighter with less guns to shoot and enjoy.

Size of the course is fixed, Deep River could have managed the course they have a lot better. Simply having assistants helping trappers organize cards in order & making sure squads step up to two lines and in order so they can shoot promptly. How about turning your card in on arrival at the station being guided to the right spot and being called to the station just before your turn ready to go.

Wait is one thing standing 20 minutes waiting in line no place to sit to protect your slot another . All gauges same station one line one trapper who has to explain over and over makes no sense. I felt sorry for them. If $1.25 per target won’t cover adequate staff charge more and deliver a quality shoot.

Exactly! That said, the Parker perusing and socializing were second to none.

There were two, maybe three fields, that were not used. Go to Small Bore and Large Bore stations and use every space that can be safely used to accommodate the extra traps. I didn’t really care for the two pair per station arrangement. I’m sure they had to refund quite a few cards. They’ll fix it

Do they publish the entire scores? The link on the website seems to only have partials scores posted. I didn't get bling just wanted to see the scores from all the classes.
