RE: Hunter Class Poll
I personally plan to shoot the new class, maybe even MBR or open, I dont know yet. And ya know, I dont have my membership card handy right now, but have shot HC for 3 years now. But, my take on it is this, yes we asked for a money hunter class, and thats what we got even though the yardage is longer. After thinking about it for a while, it really wouldn't make a lot of sense to have the exact yardage and all, only with a purse. Everyone would just shoot the money class then, and why not, an average shooter might have a very good day. Plus, with the longer yardages, you wont have the same 100 or more drilling the eleven on every shot. And you may have forgotten, some of the MBR guys wanted a class just like this one. So, there's two birds with one stone. How many classes do we need?
As far as having a poll on this forum, it would not be fair. First of all, I have made probably 50 friends at shoots in the past 2-3 years, and guess what, none of them have any idea about this forum, and just arent interested in joining it when I mentioned it (some people still do not have the internet). Secondly, you will have people voting not in the classes mentioned, or not at all if they are content with their choices and it doesnt affect them.
Also, doing it now is the wrong time (but a good place to start), let us just see what kind of turn-out there is first, we dont even know if ANYONE has shot this class as of yet to get any kind of feedback. Besides, the rules are out, and I dont think they can be changed now until next fall or at least late summer (but I could be wrong). And, lets say for arguement sake, there are 150 shooters in the new class, it will probably stand. What it all comes down to is this, if you think you would like to shoot for the money, shoot the new class---if not, shoot the old. BUTCHB
