Bill,
You asked for it...........so here is my two cents worth.
I hope to have 20 in each class at the triple crowns, but I have my doubts. I talked to three guys already that is ready to quit! I myself am not ready to quit. I like the competition and the fact of making new friends and seeing old friends. I personally think moving the yardage to 35 yards was a mistake. It is just going to seperate the playing field. If you look at the scores from the triple crown you will see what I am talking about. As far as changing the yardage for the little guys, all one had to do is set a different color stake.
Our class was slowly but surely growing. Now I think this was a move in the wrong direction. I personally don't like to compete in a class where there is only 8-10 shooters. I feel there will be alot of guys forced to shoot in the RU class because of money invested in their equipment. I can't say that I disagree with the two classes at a 35 yard max, because the equipment I shoot is an advantage at long range. If you keep the yardage at 20-25 yards I have NO advantage at all.It maked everbody equal.ASA is a good example of that.
