[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2237362, member: 119220"] I think so long as people keep their focus on the fact that the point of this match is to becomes a better practical shooter / hunter and to test their skills; as opposed to winning / racking up the points by any means necessary, you should be able to keep the gaming to a minimum. Personally I don’t see the need for prize tables and expensive awards or any awards for that matter. Coming out and testing your skills at a well put together,SAFE, practical LR hunting match is reward enough. Only reason for prize tables imo is to grow the match, but if it’s safe and well put together, the word will get out, and there won’t be any shortage of shooters the next year. Obviously there needs to be rules mainly focusing on SAFETY and rules to force the idea home that this is a Match focused on “Practical LR Hunting Techniques”: and shooters need to plan /‘conduct themselves accordingly. PRS put a lot of effort and money to into prize tables, points brackets etc etc; to grow the sport, and membership, and it worked, but at the cost of practical marksmanship skills because now you have individuals who are more focused on getting in to the prize table then becoming better practical shooters.
