That's a wrap! Thanks for a great season. See you all next year!
We should be shooting 2nd Saturday and 4th Sunday again next year.
Final schedule to be finalized in February.
Guess we covered the likes & dislikes of them thar sweeps. Any thoughts on target placement? (once the necessary repairs are done), How the "speed shoots" could be set up, adding a large round count shotgun stage (if we have the steel). Shooting 10 or so shotgun targets was always a hit at OPSC (Plainfeld). I'd like to see a BONUS rifle target placed a ways out there. Bonus targets are nice because if you're new or average and you miss, no penalty. If you hit it, 5 seconds off your time.

Wal, I like bonus targets too; I submitted a stage with a bonus target; it's for a pistol. Wait 'til ya see it; I think ya'll like it.<br />
"Bird" saw the Plainfield shoot this past weekend; I just know he liked their speed stage; let's see what happens to the speed stage at Bristol.<br />
Don't forget; there are minimum and maximum suggested target distances, along with suggested target size too.<br />
I feel that the size and distance have to be within the suggested quidelines; there has to be a happy medium somewheres. <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />

Can't,(due to other commitments, ) promise that all the target and target stand repairs will be accomplished by the next shoot. We can ,however, have them finished by OCT.<br />

I to like bonus targets, but feel they need to count for more then just 5 sec. If you concider the time it takes to reload, aim and shoot, you'll see that that process takes longer then the 5 gained sec a hit brings,. Why take a bonus shoot if you gain nothing. personally I like 10 sec bonus, so you can gain something. That's just me though.
I tend to agree that a 5 sec. bonus WITHOUT a reload and a 10 sec. bonus WITH a reload are fine. However --- I really DO NOT think that ANY stage should have more then 10 sec. of bonus TOTAL.<br />
YES ---- at Bristol etc, I got "lucky" and have hit all birds or bonuses ---- I just don't think/like a stage that IS REALLY THE MATCH !!! Long time ago , I shot somewhare and on one stage , you could shoot a "negitive" time !!!!!!!!!!! Was told when I asked --- we will just take the time off your next/last stage <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cray.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':cray:' /> Glad we don't see much of that kind of "bonuses" <img src='http://www.goodguysposse.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':clapping:' /> <br />
<br />
Also , I see nothing "wrong" with doing a little something {throwing TNT , stabbing a scarecrow} etc. AFTER the buzzer. WHAT SAY YOU ??? Again , not every stage but once in a Blue Moon etc.<br />
Your pal

Lotsa shotgun..... I like it..... Please do this when the weather is cooler. I'd need an ice filled glove to shoot 10 shotgun rounds with The Holy Black during summer...
