I tell you what, if we can get enough guys together, we can have a coon shoot. We had 10 guys at the coon shoot at iron Amos wich was fun. It would start shortly after dark. Darren , if the wife gave you the 2 day go ahead  then drag the trailer down and save the gas.

I'll be at a RMEF banquet Saturday night with the wife.  Two days ain't going to happen.

I hear ya. I need to goto another RMEF banquet , won a rifle at the last one I went to about 10 yrs ago.

[D-Rock425]

I've won a muzzle loader and a rifle the last couple of years.  Sold the rifle.  They are always fun to attend.

Question- for those who aren't entering their score and just want to shoot for fun why can't range finders be used?

Question- for those who aren't entering their score and just want to shoot for fun why can't range finders be used?

I've never done a shoot.. but I think just the hassle of designating "rangefinder allowed" patrons vs "not allowed"/these guys can turn in their scores but those guys can't.. kind of a paperwork headache instead of just having everyone on an even playing field.

[bowpredator]

The archery committee decided to not allow range finders at our shoots because when you have people competing for awards everyone needs to be on an even playing field. Example: you have one guy in a group of buddies who is not going to be able to shoot both days but shoots on Saturday. All his other buddies are shooting both days and are in it for an award. Even though the guy with the range finder hasn't told any ranges you have other groups see this person with the range finder, they may assume all the others were told of the ranges , then the finger pointing starts. Another example: group with rangefinders talking out loud about the ranges they are reading and the group behind them hear this, they may have an advantage over the other groups who already shot that target and may get better scores because if it. There are othe examples , but we have decided to just not allow range finders at all our shoots except 1,our wire shoot. And there is a rule that if you are flighted with a group on Sunday and no one calls it out and asks that it be put away in your vehicle the whole group will be disqualified for awards. We have tried a rangefinder division before and had complaints so we opted to keep the shoots rangefinder free as best we can. Hope this helps .

no worries and fair enough on the explanation ... I typically don't shoot both days or turn in results... thanks for the response

[duckmen1]

Good plan. There's always a few that try to bend the rules at the shoots.
Also foam rock on raccoon does not count as points for those who count it. You know who you are. Shots on animal above body line.

[bowpredator]

Yep, legs below body line are out, antlers, and any other part of a target that is foam but not body don't count .
