Two gun LT and HV Score Match

hey now

First of all, this was Jerry's deal, asking about interest in shooting LV/HV, not my deal. I am all for shooting whatever be it LV or HV. And I applaud the crew at Fairfax for holding matches in a 2 agg format as well as 7 minute matches.
Al, change comes slowly here on the Eastern seaboard. I know the rest of the country has been doing it for years but....I am thankful for the opportunities that are present.
It would be neat to shoot a LV only 2 yardage match. That possibliity now exists where before it couldn't legally happen. Again, I don't really care about the format, let's shoot.


Cutting a bigger hole isn't "outgunning" anyone. That's just common sense.

The agenda item was "passed" last January, not a couple of years ago, right?

Where are "they" now? Waiting, it seems. You answered that one yourself in the sentence before: "......to date no one to my knowledge has held a match in this format."

Stop yer whining :p

Apple, it's a good thing you ain't a fish....................you bite EVERY time! I trolled only twice in a sea of possible responses, hoping you'd bite; you did both times.

That LV only 2 yardage match you mentioned sounds like a good time..............

Hal has it right. We'll run the matches as always. We shoot two relays, those that choose to compete in the 2-gun, will shoot both relays.

Any awards or cash payout for the 2-gun will be handled by the 2-gun competitors, from fees collected from the 2-gun shooters.

So Wayne are you going to join in ?

Hal, so far - the only things that need doing is get the money, si ferr the score, and give out the money - so I can get that done. :D

Understood, Hal. :)

I was trying to point out (badly, it seems:eek:) that 'two agg.' day is a win-win for shooters. :)

Good shootin'. -Al
 
At the next match, during the shooters meeting, ask a couple questions of the people who are there shooting.

If we recognized LV, who would shoot it?
If we had a Two Gun (LV / HV) Award, who would shoot it?
Who is willing to volunteer for today's match?
 
Next Match

Good idea Adrian...next match is Sunday at Fairfax, right? That should get at least a start on the input...

Wish I could be there, but I have to attend Shane's double-header...not that its a bad thing - just that I wish I could be in both places! Might be able to hit the range on Saturday though for a few hours...

Thank you for your informative on topic post. It is very meaningful and revealing.
 
my 2 cents worth

I believe that running 2 separate aggregates will bring more shooters than running concurrent--there are far more LV shooters out there that have quit shooting score than HV shooters that we have shooting score.

I have also believed that there are a number of Hunter rifles in closets collecting dust because the guys will not shoot 2 guns in 1 agg--having a separate agg for the 6X guns could work to increase participation there as well.

The point of the agenda item as I understood it was that separating LV from HV in a single agg will hurt the PR points--cause lots of folks will NOT shoot 2 guns in 1 agg. So-the agenda item took it s step further and separated the firing of the classes--I personally think it has merit.

I also believe that continuing to allow multiple guns of same class from 1 competitor in an agg will hurt attendance--you won't hear about it--they will just not show up.

Well said, Jim. I eluded to the 2 guns of the same class (LV/LV, HV/HV, maybe even VFS/VFS) thing in an earlier post. A good shooter with a good rifle has a chance of winning any match. The difference between winning and second place (or lower) is who makes the best choices and makes the least mistakes. IMHO, having two (or more) chances at delivering each of the 25 record shots just seems kind of, well, "cheesy".....JMHO.
