Let's try this on Saturday at the CMP Match:
1. Their will be two strings of eight shooters and the first will hopefully start by 8:00 AM and the second by 10:00 AM.
2. We will use the last version of the paper scoring sheet that Dwight designed for us. It is truly a marvelous document and it gives the shooter a great record of his or her match.
3. We will use a buddy system for scoring. 8 shooters make 4 pairs in each string. But, the shooters are split 5 and three by the Norfolk Southern wall ? So, each side will have its own RO and the RO will assist the odd man on each side.
4. After a target is fired, the shooters will make their guns safe (flagged) and then the RO will announce that it is safe to go downrange. The fired targets will be pulled by the shooter and then a new one will be stapled up. The fired targets will be taken back to the shade and then the shooter's buddy will call out the hits for the shooter to write down on his sheet. The buddy will then review the line score and initial it. If either the buddy or the shooter call for a score to be plugged the RO on that range will bring the plug over and score the hit. I have reviewed some of Joe Haller's writing on plugging shots and I will relay those in a briefing before Saturday's match starts.
5. After all six targets have been shot, then the buddy and the shooter will total the six string scores and write in the total points and X count at the bottom. Then, all we will have to do at the end of the match is record 16 scores on the master sheet and post it. No computers, no range serfs, just everyone getting involved and better educating themselves on the intricacies of match scoring and procedures.
6. By the way, I don't know what we will do yet when we get more than 16 shooters. But, I do not fancy the idea of staying up there until 2 pm for a third string to finish. We will deal with that problem when it arises. Along these same lines. If a shooter wants to shoot both T and O class in the same match, then they may do so only if there are open slots in the second (ten o'clock) string. So, be warned - if you plan on shooting both T and O class in one morning, then be sure and shoot the first string with the rifle that you have the strongest desire to shoot. Why? Because, you may get bumped out of the second string by somebody that has not shot at all that same morning.
