    The PA State Shoot and other championships will draw for banks. That is what their recent flyer says. But there are certain events that will not happen.

    I don't get the second part.

    This forum has been all over PA to do this. If you have more information on this please let us know.

    I report. You decide
    merlo out.
     
  2. Check out the PSSA website. They have a complete explanation.

    Well it doesn't make any sense to me. Why not have banks drawn for all the events? Who was this decision for?

    Rules modified for "7 shooters" on the preferred presquadding. I couldn't make that up. So let's hear who the 7 shooters are that keep their precious banks.

    Guessing they paid for the privilege of shooting the banks they want…..At least the PSSA management is honoring their commitment….as it should be.

    I can't wait to see the few chosen squads the always have open post
    I hope I get put on one of those squads. I understand for the AIM/SCTP days teams with multiple squads are not on bank 1,7,9ect. But random draw but on banks next to each other

    Exciting to see PA at least try to make it look like they want fair competition! Then they post there are 7 shooters that will not be treated like everyone else. How do they think we will react to that?

    Paul, when we bought the new PatTraps there was a program where a shooter or squad could purchase a trap and get rewarded by having preference on the bank of their choice for a certain number of years. I don't recall the details but that's why those squads have preference to those banks. As I understand it the time period will soon end, and there weren't that many, anyway. PA bob said just 7 remain, which sounds about right.

    Mike....thanks for responding. That is the equivalent of admitting PA was participating in systemic cheating. Good to see the shoot will be almost fair. Seven shooters getting preferred treatment is still bullshit but I applaud PA for trying to make it look fairer. Many would be interested to see who the elite 7 shooters are.

    Did you ever really have trouble getting on the bank you want in the last few years? I didn’t, and I’m not on any preferred list. You must really be scared of those 7 guys beating you…

    The elite 7 paid for an advantage. It is cheating.

    I am guessing they are trying to make the shoots in Elysburgh a competition? That gonna piss of the elite that think they deserve to be coddled.

    Except for the remaining 7 cheats! Oh did I say that? It was sanctioned cheating.

    The biggest bitchers will now be the average chasers. I predict that somehow the PSSA will relent and put the 27 yard shooters on better banks. Watch and see. It's coming!

    Could be a culture change in PA.

    Lol- can anyone here name one of the people that got a preferred bank that won consistently? I’d love to hear who that is, and I’d walk right up to them and say you didn’t deserve the wins you got because some internet tough guy thinks they “cheated.”

    This message was brought to you by someone that didn’t ever contribute a penny to the PSSA other than when he shot there and paid for his entry fees and never got a “preferred” bank other than when I asked for it and it was available.
