Playing yardage group option? 20 vs 27 is a suckers bet. Back Fence Gamble .

I can remember when we had the option to play the yardage group. Top scores were by yardage. If the Back Fence Shootout was such a good idea why isn't Ohio offering that option? It is the same thing right?

Added money could be on yardage. The 20 yard shooter putting money down against the 27 yard shoot is a suckers bet.

They can get 600 shooters to play the option? That was just the 27 yardage group. Wasn't that option one of the reasons we registered targets? What am I missing?

 

This is an entirely different concept. It’s also not an ATA registered event.

 

Meant to say an entirely different event.

 

Earth to Jon...
It is exactly the same. I am guessing you were never at a tournament that had a yardage event / option. There was added money on the yardage group just like this. You paid to play just like this. You were squadded with shooters of same yardage. Just like this.

And you say that despite it being the same, "it is entirely different".

 

Earth to Jim…
There ARE NO YARDAGE GROUPS in the Back Fence shootout. Everyone shoots from 27 yards. Some aren’t even ATA registered competitors. Comprende?

 

It is one yardage group. 27

It is one yardage group. 27

The 20 yard shooters didn't shoot. They could have.
Had the OSTA had a yardage group shoot anyone could have fairly participated. That was the way it used to be.

Yardage groups options are gone. That was a big reason to register targets. The OSTA is as slow as you.

 

Give it up Jim

Many can't remember when there was a reason to register targets.
