2004 Champion,
Congrats!
I agree with you Keith, except for 1 thing. Once a few shooters have shot a partial course, and are then allowed to walk down through the course, in essence having the full ability to pace targets and look at them from both angles, shouldn' t be allowed to shoot the course. And if some can' t shoot the course, none can. I' d love to be the guy that shot 2 targets, and then walked out, through the course, being allowed to come back the next day and shoot the remaining 18. You really don' t even have to be really thinking hard about what you are doing. Just looking back from the animal to the stake is an advantage.
Once a few guys have done this, and can walk out to shoot it later, the course and competition is tainted.
