    Time to combine Open and Hunter?

    Shooting off a bum bag and shooting off a bucket and sticks are too COMPLETELY different disciplines. You should try it and then tell me differently. You really don't need the straps you still have 20 ft lbs so wind holdovers are really easy! I get the fact that alot of people are older and...

    Time to combine Open and Hunter?

    So in other words make the unlimited class open class. Personally I think ALL these classes should be left alone. Like was said earlier by Chas Open class is a great class for those that want to try sitting on a bum bag but may not have a 12ft lb rifle. The problem I see with FT in the USA Is...

    AAFTA GP course optimization

    Here's where I have a problem with this maximizing a course for GP points. My number one goal for having a GP is to raise money for my club to keep it running. We are a totally self supported club which is 75% supported by airgun matches. So I want people to come back to my club. Now your...

    AAFTA GP course optimization

    The ONLY added factors I added to any lanes at the Sherwood AAFTA GP were extreme angles that were measured. No wind, lighting factors that in my opinion are VERY subjective and vary from lane to lane at different times during a match. Obviously the GP points would have been extremely different...

    Sherwood Airgunners Sept.22,2024 Match Report.

    Forgot to add the course was a 33.5 Troyer factor before lighting and wind conditions which can vary from shot to shot and lane to lane. Being very subjective these factors are not added in. We had 30 of the 60 targets at 40yds or beyond and 5 of the 20 lanes were set in a open field.

    I really don't agree on putting subjective hardness factors into a Troyer scale which we all know can change from shot to shot or from the time the match starts until the end. I see where some match directors can add this difficulty factor into their Troyer scale and just make it look on paper...

    So I never ad wind or lighting conditions to my Troyer ratings which is a VERY subjective area when figuring out a Troyer scale. This is where all these Troyer ratings get scewed. Here in Ohio we always shoot in woods courses which are much darker than shooting in a field and we don't even think...

    So as a match Director I recently had my first GP this year and have to say it was very successful with 53 people pre registered for our event. My #1 goal is to have people come back to our club to shoot our GP and support our club. The last thing I want is to have participants not want to come...

    ...to that course. Our Hollow course is setup on a old logging road with shots up and down hill. Some of those shots are at a angle of more than 15* which we have to add an additional difficulty rating to the Troyer scale. It typically shoots 4-5 shots harder than the Highlands course if both...
