Boy, you said a mouthful there, Chris! That' s why most businesses that want to stay in business don' t take a cavalier attitude toward disappointing their customers.

Kudos' to you Chris... Well said and very professional...

I feel things like this should always be expected and thought of when we participate in an outdoor sport...

Think about how many baseball games/car races/golf tournaments etc., etc. have been rain and or weather shortened over the years... I still look at the winners as the winners...

Regards, Pat

I agree. I think that' s why so many people are surprised the IBO didn' t.

RE: Overall Responce
 

I am also an IBO state rep. What I have to say may bring that responsability to an end. If that happens, oh well. I heard from a lot of IBO members sat and sun. The information I got from them was largely the same as the complaints heard here. I belive that more shooters should have been given the chance to shoot in the shoot off. Other events could have been cancled. Ken did the right thing as far as safty was concerned. He did the wrong thing by allowing so few of the top shooters to shoot on sunday. I tried to relay what I was hearing from the members to the BOD members. Several acted like I was making the complaints up, they acted like they thought every one was happy. We have to have a backup plan that will at least let a representive group in the shoot off. Five places is a joke! When ask about a different location the standard answer was who else could have it. If we can accept the way Snowshoe run' s it, then I say just about anyone can host it. Put it out to bids and don' t refuse anyone who wants to bid. Let' s learn from this and get this shoot up to the professional level that it is billed at.

The shoot should be moved because there are people still getting hurt because off the steep mountain sides and at 4000 feet the weather is to unpredictable, The fog has been a problem in past years not just this year. They called for 75 and sunny and we got rain and fog so don' t tell us the weather is going to effect us the same somewhere else, Yes we may have rain but we have a much better chance of shooting in fog at 4000 feet.

as far as the weather, here in missouri we havnt had hardly a drop for a month. move that shoot out here!! just tryin to lighten things up!!:D easton69

RE: Overall Responce
 

I don' t see where the terrain was all that difficult. As a matter of fact I think it is ideal. It is no more difficult terrain than the ranges I shoot here at home, and I have 5 ranges to choose from that are within 45 minutes of my house. What more could you want. It' s downhill walking and a ride back up.

I say move it to Ohio. Bob Evans farm could hold all the people. They have enough land for all the ranges and the town would really enjoy the extra income. The IBO needs to check it out. The farm is in the southern part of Ohio in the town of Rio Grand. Its just a thought.
