RE: How' d it go?
Attendance up, lines down, .... can it be that we are learning something here? Those extra people who shot on Friday should get most of the credit for how smoothly things went. WOW what a difference it made. The shoot directors have been trying to encourage more people to participate on friday for several years now. I think Mother Nature finally stepped in to give that final nudge. Combine that with the additional range for Pro/Semi-Pro classes and I think that we together accomplished what we all wanted, quality courses shot in reasonable time with great companions.
Keep it in mind for the next 2 legs, those that can shoot on Friday, should do so. The backups only happen when everyone wants to go out at the same time on the same day.
As far as Friday for semi-pro' s, the additional ranges were great, but additional manpower is in short supply. By keeping it to Saturday and Sunday they were able to shoot with their peers, and the available help was able to shoot on Friday. Best of both worlds.
