Well that is the hard way! The easy way is to have an official walk the line right before a match and grab a random round out of each competitor's ammo box or block. This goes into an envelope with a bench number and competitors name. At the the end of the Match only the top four placers ammo is examined. The gentleman who suggested and volunteered for this assignment is a Board of Director Member and was a Vice President of a Fortune 100 insurance company. His specialty is compliance.
Now that being said our group has never needed that formality before. We generally know all the shooters and what ammo lot numbers we all are shooting, where the ammo was purchased etc. even trade lot numbers if a gun has a preference.
Even though our match numbers are in the mid twenties we want to maintain our friendly attitude. Remember we are doing this for fun and most of us are refugees from the other shooting disciplines. When it ceases to be fun we will find something else to do. I spent 3 years as an NRA F-Class Match Director. Glen has been an RBA and ARA Match Director. This is way more fun oriented and we will keep it that way. If a shooter has a bad attitude, a mean streak or cheats he will be asked to leave. So far this has not been a problem nor will we let it be.
We already have other clubs copying our format. Our Match fees are 15.00 and that includes a semi-nutrious dinner. We shoot the best months of the season (do not shoot in August because it is too hot), at night because it is more fun and comfortable. We have tried make it so a new shooter is welcomed and a seasoned registered match participant is challenged.
