I managed to miss the shoot because they changed the time!!! Well, at least I had decided not to compete. Next year I will make sure to double check the evening before that no changes were made.

I never heard the time was changed... there was some discussion on the location that had some folks confused but next year we will post a map at the banquet.

It was said that it would be at 12:00pm on Saturday, and that is when I showed up. I guess the time that was announced Friday evening was 10:00am, but I didn't hear because I took a call from my Marine buddy in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. And, if you look at the egg shoot thread you will see that the round progression was supposed to be different as well.

Yea now I do remember Jeff spreading that rumor so he could sleep later. wink Really though maybe next year we will need to post an agenda of times for all events to cut down on confusion. I understand exactly how the location got mixed up due to having it at a different location than last year but the time was the same as the previous years I thought. Also what was different in the rounds from the egg shoot post because I was not aware that we changed that either.
I am asking because I want to try and correct potential issues before next year.

We did screw up (not venatic or Yellowhammer), but we'll do better next year. Sorry.

Believe me it wasn't on purpose or in any kind of an effort to keep more people from competing. w00t

All registered shooter were in addendance before the egg shoot started.

There were the stated procedure from the eggshoot rules thread.

Quote:
All shots will be taken at a distance of 150 yards. There will be a Spotter target below each egg. Your first time to the line you will have 5 minutes to fire 5 shots. If the egg is broke in your lane at the end of the time limit, you will advance to the second round.

In the second round you will have 1 1/2 minutes to fire 3 shots. If the egg breaks in your lane you will advance to the third round.

In the third round you will have 30 seconds to fire one shot. If the egg is broke in your lane you advance to a shootoff.

Shoot off rules.

Each shooter be allowed one shot firing in rotation. You will have 30 seconds to take the shot. This is an elimination shootoff.


As I stated, in my original post, I gave shooters 3 minutes for 3 shots. No one took the full time at 5 minutes, 3 minutes or 1 minute.

Time was started when shooters indicated they were ready. If there was a malfunction, jam or other problem, a hand was raised and they were allowed to shoot their shots after time I was expired. This has been the proceedure since the first shoot.

This is a fun shoot, and I think all the shooters and spectators had a fun time. I heard no complaints.

If you showed up at noon, we were still there shooting all the ARs brought by the sponsors. It was well after noon before we left. The start time was also posted on the dry erase board in the lobby of the motel.
