[QUOTE="bamban, post: 2835856, member: 17722"] Your first statement is what we call chasing the spotter. The most enjoyable match I ever shot in was in Blair Atholl in Northern Scotland. That was in 1998. 3 on the firing point; one shooting, 2nd getting ready to shoot, 3rd scoring. Rotate responsibility. There were cadets pulling targets. When target is put up, pit puller starts his timer, 45 seconds later target goes down. If shooter fails to fire, scorer gives him a miss. Shooters can't pick their condition, can't wait, doesn't know how much wind the previous shooter had, so, suck it up, give it your best wind correction and break the shot in 45 seconds. Match was from 300 to 1000 across 2 days. BTW, the borrowed rifle, and borrowed ammo took the high score, and high V bull, their version of X ring. Here is the picture of rifle/ammo confirmation I shot the day before the match. Just 200 yards. All matches there prone. The target stayed at their club house till about 8 years ago. The gentleman who provided the rifle/ammo sent it to me. He tried to have his club mates break the group size. It stood there since 98, no one did. The flyer was a jitter shot, 10th.
