Maybe that was not the right choice, but it is what it is. Money in, money out, like any other competition in the country except side by side events. I look at it as a welcome change. Others' opinions may vary. For our information, the Main Event in 2013 was $110 for 85 birds. The 2014 Main Event is $85.00 for 75 birds. Money is paid back for first and second place in all events.

Bill, Chuck is a good friend of mine too, and I did not want anyone to think that this shoot was anything but a quality shoot and worth the price. But for me an average shooter I wish they had something setup for the guys that don't have a chance up against the top shooters, ie, Lewis class shoots, or lower priced side events, something like that, I shoot for fun and will never be able to be a AA shooter. Give something to the everyday shooter and maybe they would be a bigger turnout, which is what I would like to see for Chuck and John. It would be great if this shoot turned out to be larger then the other shoots.
