Gary,
All the results and scores are available on www.rjstuart.com. Shot screens worked perfectly. Very difficult winds on Saturday.

I will ask the obvious. Is the background harder? Stat man says scores will be higher.

 

FG, Wait a week and see what they look like after the Buckeye. I thought the targets looked fine over the weekend.

 

Family Guy,
In my option the screens are simply fantastic! I checked for noise reflection or echo, didn't hear any. I listened for the sound of the shot hitting the curtain; I could only hear it without ear plugs and it was very faint at best. The gap at the bottom was not even close to being an issue. The target is into the screen background before the fastest shooters can fire (except for that dude that's the worlds fastest doubles shooter, crazy!). We had 30+ mph winds during the handicap on Saturday and I never noticed the curtains moving even though they had to be. The wind was so bad Saturday for the mid to late handicap squads that some targets lifted well above the screens but they were still easy to see.

The real benefit to the screens is that now every field is the same as every other field. No one can say that they never get the "good" banks or that management is playing favorites. Every shooter, no matter what bank they are on, has exactly the same background. Very few shooting venues in the USA can say that. It's just my opinion, but I think Stat Man is correct about higher scores. Time will tell.

 

I think that the curtains are a good thing,but as great as they are they didn't seem to be able to keep old mother nature from unleashing her wind and rain on the shoot. I really believe that with good weather the scores will go up. Personally I would rather have targets with at least a small black rim such as what is called the New York style target.

I think the New York style target would be better. But, I would like to see a test of the all orange vs the new yorks. Fill a cyclinder with all orange and one with new yorks. etc. Then put some shooters on the line. I think that would be the only way really test them.

 

another vote for the black rim targets.
