Re: To All Rimfire Competitors PLEASE READ!!
my 2 cents:
i like the idea of shooting for something, but i'm not the kind that will not shoot if there is nothing to shoot for. i like the comps because it gives me a reason to shoot and compare notes with folks that have the same intrests. sure i wouldn't mind a certificate or something to that effect, but i'd have to think we'd need more folks shooting the comps.
i really thought that when JOE MARTIN proposed the matches, ALOT of people would shoot it just to shoot it. many talk of shooting hundreds of rounds at distance with the .22, why not post up a target and dedicate 25 rounds?
seems like a good "PUT UP OR SHUT UP" match, at the very least. (OH OH! sounds like a gauntlet being thrown down)
HOFF, like you i was thinking the same thing, even maybe getting some sponsers involved and getting some prizes, even if it's for a tee shirt. but i think the surprising lack of participation would obviously hinder that from happening too.
i salute your eagerness to make an addition that you describe. i'm for it, however with the 6 or 7 usual shooters we have throughout the different matches, almost everyone one would get a cert.
if a certificate would boost the amount of shooters, i would support it. i made up something similar for my local silhouette matches for much the same reasons - at least you walk away with something for a job well done.
i wouldn't trash the what i believe to be a good idea yet, perhaps just put it on the back burner until there's more opinions on it, and get a majority rule on it.
LOL
