People are [bleep],
competitions just put a spotlight on that.
Start any competition, folks will quickly move to gain advantage in an
unfair way.
We used to do a 22 shoot.
Just some hunters, shooting to improve, have fun.
Laughable to most, 5 swinging plates from 20 yards to 50.
A tie breaker at 60.
Shot offhand, no sling.
Go to the Mark shoot 5 rounds,
After everyone shot, one shot each at the tiebreaker until the last guy standing.
Sometimes we had to wait for the cows to feed through behind the plates.
25 cents a round, we usually got 10 rounds before dark, with around 10 shooters.
High stakes!😁😁
One fellow bought a Savage heavy barrel, huge scope.
Two others bought Anschutz silhouette rifles, shot Gold Medal Match.
Would have really pissed me off, but these guys thought equipment
would win. They couldn't shoot for crap. Rarely ever picked up
the quarters.
My buddy would take a Winchester 69 open sighted to make it a challenge,
another used a Favorite.
