  1. I worked for a multibillion dollar not for profit company. It only needed nine board members to oversee the company. Of course we had a battalion of lawyers, CPAs and actuaries keeping an eye on the board.
  2. I owned an 1874 Pedersoli which came with their sight. The sight was good enough but when I got serious about 1,000 yard matches I bought an MVA Buffalo Soule.
  3. The earlier (pre-1950s +/-) cast iron skillets have a machined inside bottom. They are smooth and properly seasoned they are better than the nonstick pans being sold today. Finding one means haunting garage sales and antique stores. Lodge is OK, my wife has several but I prefer her older Wagners or a modern, high end, Finex.
  4. I shoot a steel challenge type event. It is typically eight stages, shooting a minimum of 25 rounds per stage. Distances range from ten yards to 40 yards. I don’t claim to have any special insights into the “market” but this event typically draws four times the number of shooters as our local CAS match. I do have a couple of thoughts as to why this is the case: just about any pistol caliber or rimfire cartridge is legal; just about any handgun or rimfire long gun is legal; handguns are drawn from the holster but if you don’t have one just yet you still can shoot; kids welcome; no stages to reset; generally, no transitions. People like to just show up and shoot and then head out for a burger.
  5. I have shot WB since before I retired more than ten years ago. Unlike CAS, I do not recall shooting 10-10-4 stage after stage. At one WR WB match we shot 300 45ACP and nowhere near a 100 rifle. Most shotgun stages have been six rounds, maybe more with a reload. In short, there is a lot of shooting without the redundancy of CAS matches. The changes/additions seem to me to be a nonissue. Slipping into the 10-10-4 pattern with targets close enough to use a slingshot is a deal killer though.
