Daryl and Frank, here's a little anecdote about scoring at side by side events. At the Spring Southern, many years ago, a good friend and high scorer who you all know, was up by several birds late in the .410 event. Regardless of the very small chance that I would equal his great score, I entered the event late in the competition. Because of the situations that Frank mentioned, I asked the "high scorer" whether he would be interested in going around the course with me while I shot my .410 birds. He said he would be honored. Long story short, I had an exceptional round and won the .410 hammerless and the .410 high overall outright. Having this gentleman witnessing my round took all of the questions and suspicions out of the final score. Just some food for thought. Bill Murphy
