TIM, AS FOR ME, ITS NOT ABOUT WINNING. ITS ABOUT BEING A LITTLE BIT MORE ACCESSABLE TO NEWCOMERS. I HAVE FRIENDS WHO WOULD LIKE TO SHOOT AT NELSONVILLE, BUT THEY DONT WANT TO LOOK BAD. I AM SURE, IF I COULD GET A COUPLE OF THESE GUYS TO SHOOT THERE, THE MEMBERSHIP WOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM FOR THEM, AND THEY WOULD START SHOOTING YEAR ROUND LIKE WE DO. THEY DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT ASPECT OF IT, AND KNOWING THE TOP GUYS WILL BE SHOOTING WAY UP. I WOULD SHOOT THE MORE COMPETITIVE CLASS (IF THATS WHAT YOU CALL MY SHOOTING) IF THE CHANGE WERE TO OCCUR. BUT, A NEWCOMER WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH ONE THAT IS NOT AS INTENSE. MAYBE EVEN A HC THAT YOU CAN SHOOT FOR ONE YEAR ONLY, SORT OF A TEST DRIVE CLASS, TO SEE IF YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. THE GREATEST REWARD ABOUT SHOOTING THE LARGER SHOOTS, AND ANY SHOOT, TO ME IS MAKING NEW FRIENDS WITH LIKE INTERESTS. I HAVE MET SOME OF GREATEST PEOPLE AT SHOOTS AND ON THIS FORUM, AND I THINK, I KNOW, THAT OUR SPORT HAS THE BEST FAMILY LIKE ATMOSPHERE OF ANYTHING I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH, I JUST WANT OTHERS TO EXPERIENCE THAT ALSO. YOUR SHOOTING THE HC, MAYBE WE CAN SHOOT AT NELSONVILLE TOGETHER. LET ME KNOW, BUTCHB.
