    I need help planning a 50 target two man buddy(protector)shoot. We shot these years ago but really can't remember the program as far as places and payouts. All shooting will be from 25 yards and I do remember that you could sign up and pay as many times as you wanted as long as it was with a different shooter.

    We also had a Calcutta, paid 50/30/20, and I used to auctioneer these so I have that part covered. What I need help with is pretty much what to charge for targets and "options".

    If I remember correctly we shot 10 targets from each station alternating between 1st and 2nd shooter. First man on each station calls then second man each station does the same until 10 targets are scored, then move. I can print up score sheets that will be easy for the scorer to follow.

    The gentleman that wants to hold this shoot said he would like to do this once a month and would put up $500.00 to start a jackpot. He wants to use these shoots to promote his small winery and restaurant and said he could get a lot of prizes from friends to spice up the events. BTW, this gentleman and his friends have VERY VERY DEEP pockets.

    If anyone can post or PM me your latest program I would very much appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Deep pockets? Heck, I could put up $500 and I don't have any pockets at all.
    Seriously, I hope this turns into a very popular event for your area's shooters.

    Flyers, Doc Longshot frequents clubs that throws buddy shoots. I haven’t seen him on here in awhile but I’ve got his number if you need to speak with him.

    My club does 100 bird protection, shoot 20 birds from the 27 each shooter shoots 2 birds a piece on each post. after 20 birds draw for a new partner and shoot another 20. each round there is a payout to the 1st and 2nd place team. Each individual also gets there team score from each round for themselves with a payout for 1st,2nd and 3rd after the 100 are shot.
    Targets and prize money is included in one fee.

    West Chicago used to shoot pick your partner protections every so often, you would pay an entry fee and additional for the Calcutta ... The amount they charged included the targets, and purses, the Calcutta paid separately ( I think : 50/30/20 ) the starting bid was $10.00 ( went up quickly from there ) depending on who the shooter were ... I do not recall how much they charged but it was very reasonable for the entry's, (purse and targets) ... You can take into consideration what the club is going to charge for targets and services to set your entry fee's, then plus money for the purses depending on how many places you want to pay down to by a percentage ... Its been a long time since I went out there but it was always very well attended and a lot of fun ... You can fill in the blanks and make it pay big or just a little bit, me personally would prefer to pay more to win more ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
