The "Wild Side"

[Al Nyhus]

Al,
The future of Four Day Score Nationals depends a lot on how the shoot in Iowa goes this year. You were not in attendance at the Winter meeting and the minutes have not yet been published, so you may not be aware that the deviation from the Normal 2 day Score Nationals format was granted as a one time special exemption to the rules because Webster City requested it. The IBS executive board had quite a debate about the the pro's and con's of letting this be tried and it is strictly on a trial basis. Personally I hope it is a smashing success, and generates a rebirth of interest in Hunter-Varmint Hunter class shooting here in the East where it is on the decrease and SouthEast where it is practically non existant.

Dick, I'm aware that it's a trial basis this year. If there's anyplace that has a chance of making this format work, it's out here in my area. We have a good abundance of IBS and NBRSA Hunter shooters from S.D, Mn, Wi, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri...plus a couple of active ranges that shoot NBRSA Group tourneys.

Tipping my hat to the IBS for letting us have a shot at this four day format.... -Al

I think you may have missed

are NOT a good thing. That would be boring and a negative. 6X is HARD, it should remain HARD and be a CHALLENGE. That way when a win happens it is something to be coveted. There are Winners and Losers. Reality bites and it SHOULD be that way.

I for one am very pleased w/ the equipment we have today and the fact that 250's don't grow on trees. The competition is key and the competitor MUST be willing to fight and scratch all the way. Anything less should go play with the big scopes and be happy.

The satire I meant in what said.
