I really enjoy the socialization, the atmosphere and the abundance of a lot of nice doubles to look at and handle and great people to talk to. I think most who attend might share that reason.

As for the shooting and the possibility of making the team, I don't shoot well enough but I do like to shoot the course but at 50 bucks to shoot for score, I'll save my self 10 bucks and shoot for fun. Use the 10 bucks for Bo Whoop to shoot for fun, not for score

If it was $25 or $30 per round, I'd probably shoot it every day, maybe even twice if it didn't become too crowded at the stations. That might be part of it, higher price, less back up. Law of Diminishing Returns or something like that.

What I'm saying is that I'm frugal, call me cheap, and others may feel the same way. I'm used to shooting a great course here at home for $12.00 (senior, members rate).

It would be interesting to hear others thoughts.

I'm looking forward to Ernie's next year. Mostly for the social part and less for shooting.

By the way, next year's Northeast Side by Side Shoot is Thursday, Friday and Saturday; June 7, 8 and 9, 2018.

El Cheapo Jolly.
Bill, that's why at our Northern SxS we offered non-tourney shoot for fun pricing. 50 bird event entry with no chance to win a trophy for $30 instead of $50. We had 79 shooters join in the fun through those entries. We will offer that again next year when we host our event August 2-5.

Hi Mike,

That sounds like a great plan.

I missed your shoot this year. Just plain too much going on here at home to squeeze it in. You have a great course there and it's on my calendar for next year.

Thanks Mike.
