G'day Les,
This is a very relevant subject which I hope will create some discussion.

In a perfect "fly shooting" world, to my mind, one match each month would be ideal. Matches through the middle of winter are probably more eagerly anticipated because there's less mirage in the colder months & lets face it, if you can see your shots landing it's more enjoyable.

I'm thinking the guys from the clubs who organise these events should chime in with their thoughts as it's they who go into battle on our behalf to close the range to all other shooters for a whole day so we can compete.
I'm guessing this is no easy task & at some ranges (Little River) it's almost impossible. Strangely, shooters of other disciplines believe that they also have rights!

That said, I believe  (selfishly) one shoot per month would be the "best".
