Atlanta Fall Classic 2022

Coin tosses aren't uncommon and the option is available if all involved agree. Sometimes folks just don't want to waist the shells or the prize isn't worth it. If I had secured one more target, there would have been a shoot off.

In the past I always preferred shoot offs over win by long run or coin toss . But as one older fellow told me once “ya takes Uhm how you can gets Uhm” !

Waist (waste) the shells? Hmmmm ....... I never considered it a waste. I always love shoot-offs. IMO, the prize is hardly ever worth it. It's mostly braggin' rights.

I certainly don't mean to demean in any way your accomplishment, John. Just getting to the first place tie is a win! Well done!

I wasn't in the first place tie. I finished one target out. The two gentlemen who tied are both AA shooters and All Americans. It was getting late, the shoot off targets weren't going to count toward their averages and they were both going to walk away with a buckle regardless, so I'm sure they decided to save the shells and let a coin decide the outcome. I typically prefer to shoot it off, although I have differed to my fellow competitor at times.

However, at the 2022 Georgia State Shoot I was in a 3 way tie with money on the line. The other two gentlemen in the tie wanted to just split the money three ways. I refused, figuring I came with no money I can leave with no money. I left with the money.
