    We have a few banks at the PA shoot that are most highly preferred. There is major advantage if you are one of the $elect few that get to shoot on them.$

    Fact one: The PA shoots are a shell of what they do once were. The place could function without several banks.

    Get a clue shoot management. Eliminate the preferred banks?

    Gee that was easy.

    Get rid of the banks that people want to shoot on? Hmmm…might not boost participation like you might think.

    I am sure there are more than a few wannabes point chasers that won’t shoot unless they have an advantage. We can take note of those.

    Calling BS 10-point

    Who won’t shoot at PA if they can’t have an advantage? You? Waiting for your answer. Lol

    Suckers play the ticket with 82% Handicap averages. Look, nothing's gonna change in PA because they're addicted to the pre-squad money. The way things are going they'll need that and more. Like ole' Skip said in a few years they'll be paying $50/100 targets unless income increases. They're getting closer. Unfortunately, the only way forward is eliminating bank selection and tee off a few dozen prima donnas. Never happen!

    I’m not sure if your post was tongue in cheek, but yes, I would shoot there if they did away with banks 1-3, personally I liked 7 and 8 better there. But- some people would not feel the same way, I’m sure.

    Who won’t shoot if the banks were closed. You didn’t answer. You said you are sure. Again calling BS. Tell us who!

    You’re right- I don’t have a list of people who would not shoot if those preferred banks were removed. For me, it just seems like an unwise business decision to take away the banks that most people do prefer to shoot. It’s like if you had an ice cream store and chocolate ice cream was your best seller- removing it. Sure, people would buy vanilla, strawberry, etc.- but eventually, they’ll just go somewhere else that has the chocolate ice cream they really want. The Cardinal Center has chocolate ice cream, in this example.

    That’s right you don’t have a list of people that won’t shoot.

    You can’t name one person right? You have proven your post is BS.

    Actually, Bobby- I was posting my opinion. I said getting rid of those banks won’t boost participation like you seem to believe. You then ask me to list people that won’t shoot there IF whatever you dreamt up actually were to happen. How many people could you put on a list to agree that completely eliminating Banks 1-3 would be a good idea? If it’s not significant, maybe your post is the one that’s BS. I already knew that, though.

    Do the same as the Heartland Grand,

    Do a bank draw every day. Squads change banks on a daily basis.

    Maybe they should eliminate the lower banks and hold the shoot on the upper 8 banks-50 per trap. Pre-squad for a squad number only, estimating 80% of the expected turnout and leave the balance open for later. No bank selection and you must take first available opening if not pre-squadded. Time to cut costs first instead of begging for donations again.

    don't they still do 4 range shuffles?
    the way I remember, clubs use to always put in 4 ranges, so all you did was shoot and rotate to the next one to get in your 100 birds.

    I won't shoot PA anyways, anymore. Maybe a couple hundred targets a year, where i used to shoot at least a thousand a year there.

    Carlette Prokou is the worst camping manager ever. Literally is driving people away. Has raised rates to 20 a night, for primitive camping. They offer nothing, and want 20 a night. Quiet hours, and lack of improvements, all stupidity.

    Someone who doesn't shoot, should not have any say.
