Rifle Competition Events What would you change or do differently with current competitions/organizations?

Some of us are nowhere near the 70s, but we are going to keep showing up.

Not even if I shot the match twice!

 

[Malum Prohibitum]

I have not shot in very many competitions, and not yet in a PRS sanctioned match, but my last three precision rifle matches were:

18.57%

33.33%

38.98%

You want to win the match or just win a trophy for the best new guy in 79th place out of 100 shooters?

You know what, I’ve been there, but it was a day to enjoy and celebrate, I set a record for most targets down. No, I did not get a trophy, nor for the day, I hit over 50% of the shots I took and finished last out of 53. At that time 50% was a personal record. Sounds stupid, but a win is a win, and I won that day.

Don’t make sport, in my day, I went home with a black cloud over my head if did not shoot clean, 100% and THE WIN! But, alas, those days are gone and I’m happy and blessed to be here.

I’d rather have the Lanterne Rouge trophy, and still be shooting good than be lying in a grave like too many of my friends already are.

(Lanterne Rouge trophy - Trophy presented to the last place finisher in a bike race. In the Tour de France, it’s quite an award, with cash and entrance money paid for races following the tour. But don’t take it as poor performance. Often its won by sprinters who simply can’t perform in the mountains but won several sprint stages or by the men who work and help the leaders by riding in front of them to break the wind).
