Persimmon Dan, SASS #42428

Just for giggles, consider this... At a scheduled monthly match, at the WSSC in Evansville,IN in July 2004 (pre-SASS affiliation), we had 61 shooters in seven (7) categories and provided awards to the top three in each...nice trophies at that. Eleven years later....same month.....60 shooters.......nineteen (19) categories.....still trying to provide nice awards as before.......??? The issue, it seems to me...is that it is not that a category is offered...it is the award situation that is created. Maybe I'm offbase here...but if you want paper certificates again...clubs can afford just so much.........go for it!! Maybe limited categories got dominated by the better shooters.....imagine that.........so more categories made it more inviting for more shooters....well, bring the categories on........we will all have a bunch of fun which is what this whole deal is really about. Just the view from my saddle.......

We often write Nevada sweeps that give the shooter the option to start on the target he/she chooses. Sometimes there might be a larger target in the middle position just to see if they are awake!! Giving the option makes it more interesting for a lot of shooters.
