The Rock River Regulators, led by Turkey Legs, put on a very nice match. They have put in a lot of work to have a first class shooting venue. It was a pleasure to be a participant in such a well run match. Kudos to the entire group, including the ones who supplied three excellent meals during the competition. Special thanks to Posse 2. We all worked well together ad had smooth sailing throughout. Don Jorge

If knock down target, has not been reset, should there be a mandatory reshoot for the shooter? Especially, with a shotgun pop up, there is a time difference between shooting where they were, and actually engaging a knock down and its pop up target. Exclude the fact that the TO should have noticed the targets not being reset for this discussion, if you would. In fact, should a reshoot be mandatory for even a fallen target, "target/prop failure" rather that an optional reshoot? As always, SAFETY infractions would carry over.

The Spring Roundup was, as usual, a fine match. Nice variability in the stages. Perfect weather. Tremendous Banquet. Somehow, each year is even better. Kudos to the Club for a Great Match.

I did not want to hijack the thread concerning CAS scoring and the fee, specifically. Is there a charge for using Practiscore? Who is supporting Practiscore financially? What is it worth, to a club, to use an electronic scoring program, vs paper (ugh!) Someone has to pay for the development and maintenance of the program. Who would do it for free? I know that we all would want it for free, but that is impractical. As I recall, ACES went away due to no financial support. It is my impression that the scoring program sold/promoted by SASS is not very popular, whereas both CAS Scoring (until now) and Practiscore are popular. Perhaps we should consider some sort of cooperation between SASS (and its members) and one of the better scoring entities to have a platform we can use at a reasonable price..

Does Practiscore allow bluetooth hookup with a Bluetooth timer?

But in fairness, when we do this at our club, for a pop-up, we have a make up static target that must be hit to avoid a miss, it that is chosen. Reloading time is considered a penalty, of sorts. Those with the "competitive mindset" would go for the target aloft, though.

I have heard it said that this is entertainment. Apply as you wish.

This Club has Great facilities! The nearby area has many hotels and plenty of nice restaurants. Should be a Great Match!

Should be a Great Shoot. It always is!

The SPARTA SUMMER SHOOTOUT was another fabulous event at Sparta hosted by the Kaskaskia Cowboys, led by Phiren Smoke and Boben Weev. we had great stages, a nice breeze, and super food (from Mike, The Butcher's Block). It was a fine day of competition.

This should be another Great Shoot hosted by the Kaskaskia Cowboys! I can't wait!

This should be a great match at a tremendous facility. I'm signed up.

Would you be interested in a trade for an unaltered Browning Double?

If I were getting a spotting scope for long range, I would be considering one of the camera type set-ups.
