Ken, you might want to recheck your figures because I just sat down and went through all of the classes in both the money and trophy rounds for the years 2002 and 2003. Here are the figures. 2002 2002 2002 2002 2002 2002 2002 2002 2002 2002 2002
money round--2151 shooters
Trophy round--485 shooters
TOTAL----------2636 shooters
MBO--493
MBR--209
HC---398 Just to name the three
classes with the highest
number of shooters.

Trophy MBO--88
Trophy HC----174 Just to name two.

2003 2003 2003 2003 2003 2003 2003 2003 2003 2003 2003

trophy round---553 shooters
TOTAL----------2646 shooters
MBO--427

So in a nut shell, there were 58 less shooters this year(2003) who participated in the money round.
And there were 68 more shooters this year who participated in the trophy round.
Total of 10 more shooters this year then the previous year.
