    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 entertaining different concept. It’s also not an ATA registered event.

    Meant to say an entirely different event.
