Re: 1st place in todays shoot!
For those sending me PMs on how the match is run here is a bit of info.
I used to run it with TWO groups of shooters (the same way our Cheapskate match is run by Blackwhiskey) Group 1- Advanced shooters (limited to 12-15 of the best shooters), group 2- Basic shooters (everyone else). Weve had up to 32 shooters at a match in the basic group at a Cheapskate match.
BASIC group has easier COF's with more time to shoot per round and only goes out to 100 yards MAX. The scoring is also more forgiving (no negative scores). The targets are bigger (ex: 3/4" flies at 25 yards vs 1/4" flies).
Marksman group has Harder COF's ( movement, exercise, harder positional shooting) with less time to shoot per round (ex: "speed Dots" are five 1/2" dots, 5 shots in 10 seconds), shoots out to 200 yards, has negative points for misses, wrong targets hit, and no failure to engage (no shoots).
Hhere are the qualification rules to shoot in the marksman group:
*********
Marksman Group Qualification Rules
The idea is to keep the Marksman Group as close to 10-12 shooters as possible.
1) There will be 12 spots Max for the Marksman Group each match.
2) If you score in the Top Ten you are automatically in the Marksman group for the next month’s match. (If there are 10 or less shooters they all qualify for the Marksman group next match)
3) If you score 11th or 12th but less than 12 people show up for the Marksman group at the next match you can still shoot in the Marksman group that match.
4) Top ten scores from the previous match have 1st priority on the signup sheet.
5) If you miss a match or more but were in the top ten in your last match you can still shoot in the Marksman Group if there is a spot open. Otherwise you drop to the Basic shooters group until you earn your way back to the Marksman Group.
6) Top 2 shooters in the Basic group have priority on the Marksman group signup over the 11th & 12th place shooters in the Marksman group from the previous match.
7) If a shooter from the Basic group score 1st or 2nd BUT doesn’t want to advance to the Marksman group ( Maybe hes shooting with his children in the Basic Group) that’s fine but he loses his chance to shoot in the Marksman group in future matches unless he scores 1st or 2nd again in the previous match.
*********
As of the last match I no longer have a BASIC group (but the Cheapskate match does). It was just too much trouble to find someone to run the basic group while I ran and shot in the Marksman group (both groups shoot at different locations, 100 yd range and the 200 yd range, and I cant be at both places at once).
