[QUOTE="shootinfool, post: 177805, member: 9140"] If the owner/opperator is on this sight, here is some constructive feed back for him. I attended one of these this year to check it out. I was very pleased with the quality of personel there and the way that the courses were set up. I liked the challenge of shooting across one and even two canyons with crosswinds that palyed hell on the shooters. Things that I didn't like, and reasons why I won't go back, they were constantly in a rush. they would have you shoot at your first target, and if you missed they rushed you to your second target and so forth. Then as soon as you were done shooting they wanted the next person to shoot right away. They guides that I had with me were very persistant in insisting that I not use my own spotter to spot my shots because their spotter was the next one to shoot. At one point they were really rushing us because we had another group pull up when we were still shooting. I wanted my spotter calling wind and my shot from right to the side of or behind me. They seemed very displeased that I was trying to take alot of time to make the shots. I asked the guide about it and he said all they were trying to do is just get everybody through the course and they had a time they had to keep to so that everyone didn't stack up. If I remember right they had people starting every half an hour with groups as large as 5. We had 4 in our group and at each station we shot 3 "holes" with a minimum of three shots each and a maximum of like 4 shots each hole. I was trying to hurry but also trying to make the shots count and felt that they had unreal expectations of everyone shooting to keep the time. For this reason I would not use this as a tool to improve your shots on game. In the field I would wait for the right shot conditions to take the shot.
