Nice prize for sure. What do you have to do to win it? Is there a raffle, an auction or is does it go to the top shooter?

It will be added to the pool of prize guns to be selected by top shooter and lewis class winners.

Just my thoughts Mark, but I think that a prize like that would do better for the shoot, if it was done as raffle for tickets that the register shooters that shoot on the side games. That way everyone has a chance otherwise, only the top three or four shooters have a chance at it and guys like me will not care, sorry that's my two cents on it. Eric

Eric, Not so top shooter has 1st choice of prizes. 2nd ,3rd and 4th place get nothing. Balance of winners and prizes chosen are by Lewis class. You certainly could win B,C or D class. In addition not everyone wants to go to Argentina. This way the the prize will go to someone who will use it.

Mark, don't get me wrong, this is probably the best SxS shoot and using the Lewis class system for the regular prizes is great, even gives a guy with bad eyes a chance

. But again that is only four people, why not open it up to all of the shooters no matter how they shoot, if your a registered shooter and shoot the side games (which is where the club makes it's money) the more tickets you put in the jar the more chances you have. Again just my thoughts. Eric

Eric, Thanks for your input and we are already doing much of what you are requesting. Last year we gave away 8 guns and several other nice prizes. After lewis class winners the remainder of the prizes are drawn from registered side event tickets .
