Hello everyone,
I am wanting to get everyone's opinion that shoots our monthly match about something we are wanting to try this summer. We are in the process of building another 80-90 steel targets, all individual falling plates in 8 inch round and 6 inch square. We are hoping to have all these finished by mid-summer hopefully. With these additional targets this should put us with plenty of steel to hold our own version of a miniature Pro-Am match. What I am wanting y'all's opinion on is how you would like to see the match format.
Option 1: Regular Pro-Am, everyone is in two divisions, Open or Limited, everyone only has 10 rounds in there mags, and every stage has a par time, and any other Pro-Am specific rules. Match will also have a classifier so this will be the only stage with paper.
Option 2: Normal USPSA format and divisions, so basically the only difference from a normal match is that every stage will be all steel targets no paper (except classifier), we may actually increase the round count to 40 on a few stages just for the fun of it.
Option 3: You guys give me an idea as to what you would like to see. Do you even like the idea of an all steel match?. Please let me know
I personally have never shot a Pro-Am, but I have heard from a lot of people as to how much fun they are to shoot. My only concern as it may be kind of an issue trying to set par times fairly to were it is challenging for the highly skilled shooters and also allowing enough time for the lesser skilled shooters to at least get through several target arrays before the par time is up. Not to mention and I am not picking on anyone here but I feel that also with a par time it isn't really fair to most of the older shooters who don't quite move like a jackrabbit anymore.
You guys that have shot Pro-Ams and any matches similar please tell me your opinions good or bad of them.
I look forward to hearing everyone's opinion.
Thanks,
Loren
