I love the new format. Shoot well and you shoot the match twice. Remember...... It's the National Championship..... The aim is to shoot 1920 or as close to it as you can. If you opt to shoot prod or metallic..... Stop bitching.... You chose it. Maintain the original 4 events. ( Bianchi for me is a standard that you can shoot against the legends of the past and compare your results against historical data and your own personal best )
Be honest with yourselves.... As good as it was with Tom raising the bar, if you weren't in the top 40.... Your prizes sucked anyway, and no one complained. If the "other 260 shooters" depend on goodies bags and random drawings to make this a valuable trip for them..... Then lobby for goodies bags and random drawings. ( I like goodies bags and random drawings too ) Don't bag the match for the top guys, who by the way, have also seen a drastic reduction in awards and prizes. I go because I love shooting the Bianchi Cup. I love the Bianchi Cup....and one day I will win it..... If not, I'm breaking into Kevin's house and taking his?
