Just don't get no respect!

Mighty good looking pics Mike. I am looking forward to shooting there. Looks like Jason and Tim may have the place worn out before we get there.

I have had several calls from shooters entering the match about bringing their kids. They said they did'nt think their kids would shoot the match but were coming with them. I realize now that their not shooting because of the match fee. Having raised two kids myself I know what it cost to do things with them.
Why I never thought about a lower match fee for kids is beyond me, but I did'nt.
So.... At the East Texas Championship Match, if you have a kid age 12 to 16, they can shoot the match for $35.00. I will have a placque made for the winner of the Jr. Division. A parent will have to be at the bench with their child at all times during the match. If a jr. shooter breaks the safety rules, the shooter and parent will be disqualified.
All of our future matches will have a reduced match fee for kids under 16.
