Hi Chappo,

Mate I agree totally that it has to be 3 RANGES not states, if it was states it would discourage people from going to both Wagga and Batemans Bay as well as making it all but impossible for north QLD shooters....

The only people that three states would suit would be the Victorians, as Little River, Canberra and one of the nsw ranges = 3 states... Where as Townsville, Brisbane and Canberra or Batemans Bay, Wagga and Canberra are only 2 states.

While the reverse ranking sounds great for local club shoots (I might pinch that idea for here also), I think it would seriously disadvantage the smaller FLY shoots..... ie for winning in Townsville against 15 competitors you get only 15 points where as for coming 20th in canberra in a field of 70 gives you 50 points, a win is a win and should be rewarded that's why the current points system works so well......as I said earlier, maybe a small bonus points system  for winning / placing in a very large field would be good.

Cheers
Anthony
