    I do not see RJ listed on the website as hosting the tournaments at the Cardinal Center? Who will be covering it?

    Heard a rumor @ MSC that SOS is taking over the CSC. Not sure how to verify.

    Big mistake just like RJS was for many years. They should have gone with SHOOTPRO. It ia a very shooter friendly and you can do everything with your cell phone. You do not have to pay a "privilege" fee to get all the great features that SHOOTPRO offers.

    If you check the SOS website the shooter is required to pay an annual fee of $60 to use the "nice" features available on their cell phone or laptop. Yep, so are you going to pay $60 ANNUALLY to use SOS features? WOW, just think, I was going to attend the Ohio State shoot. Now I got to pay $60 to get nice data on my phone. Nothing better than having to pay a privilege fee to shoot at the CC. I do not consider that shooter friendly!!!! BTW, everything is free if they would have chosen SHOOTPRO!!!!!!!!! BIG mistake by the CC.

    I have no experience on the shoot management side with ShootPro, but their public pricing on their website charges the clubs $3/shooter/day to access all of their features (or $1.75 per 200 bird event, without calculating trophy winners or payouts).

    In my opinion, a $60 optional charge is a lot better than a $3 increase in targets or daily costs. Clubs are charged $0 to use the SOS system, with all of their funding coming from premium memberships or pre-squadding fees.

    I used SOS for a shoot and it worked great from the club side, and they were used at the Dixie Grand with no complaints. I have used ShootPro at Middletown with no complaints. They are both fine software, and hopefully the CC benefits from a newer system!

    The $60 allows you to presquad and all that extra stuff. You can pull up the scores for free on your phone as well as long as you’re classified at the shoot. And I’m sure the CC will have their screens on with the SOS program with scores. The access will be the same as RJ nothing will change other than the appearance. No extra fees unless chosen.

    You can presquad without a premium subscription by paying $2 a post. I believe that is the same price as RJ Stuart. You can also 'build squads' and auto fill into shoots without having to find and type in ATA numbers every time
