So, you are trying to say that a couple of 50 yard targets, that beginners and middle of the pack (Class C?) shooters can "nail" would gain you enough points to enable you to all beat the elite (Class A or Master?) shooters? Nice guess, no way. Sure, a bullseye shooter should have no problem with a couple of 50 yard targets, but that would be a very small percentage of the points in a regular match. Even if you scored better on those couple of long distance targets, it wouldn't be enough to make up for the rest of the stages. Middle of the pack action shooters are not better than the "elite" action shooters that you mentioned shooting at more difficult targets. Go to a match and see who has a more difficult time scoring on the more difficult targets. It is not the elite shooters. Mark
