Ken,

Only taking the survey at the national shoots narrows the pool of shooters. Plus there could be duplications. I believe Bos is on to something. The IBO could send out survey forms to state reps, via email or snail mail, then they survey all shooters at their state championship shoot. Each member polled records their IBO# the survey is then mailed back to the IBO office for talley. Using the IBO # and the right data program you could eliminate double surveys. This would provide a more of a national grass roots response.

I'm willing to help out with this effort.
