So disappointed to see that the club isn't sticking with the plan of Thurs/Fri/Sat alternating years with Fri/Sat/Sun. Was told this would be a Thurs/Fri/Sat year for PCP since it was the opposite last year.

It sure felt too good to be true when we were informed that alternating was the plan a while back.

But I'm fully aware of how much of a minority I am in this.

That is a tricky thing to get to work with the most people as possible for a GP.

However I really like the idea of having all of Sunday to return home, totally worth sacrificing a Thursday in my book. May float this for Nevada 2026 even thought the MD's typically use Monday for the return trip.
 
I’m considering going to this GP match. I’d like to know what the Troyer difficulty will be. An exact 36T for both rifle and pistol would make 100 GP points available to the winners of each class. Since I have a number of GP matches to choose from each year, I now tend favor those that are best for staying in the running for a GP championship points total.

Pistol course Troyer? And rifle course Troyer?

Hey Scott,
I believe that Larry has it figured to be close to that magic number, but cannot confirm, but wanted to get back to you as soon as possible. Up at that elevation, with wind and weather, anything is possible. Your call....

Hi Mark,
The AAFTA match course planner turns red when the total course reaches 36T, but 36T is what they want in order to count the competitors score as 100 GP points. If the course is 35.5T then the top competitor in each class will get a 98 or 99 instead of 100 GP points, so don't worry about the red. A full 36T is acceptable and actually required for 100 GP points for the winner of each class.

I mentioned this to the BOG, but they haven't fixed it yet. So, maybe inform Larry so he can adjust accordingly.

Thanks, and like Scott, Air gun Oregon will send two competitors if it will be a full 36T course, otherwise it's not worth the travel expenses. The Hunter class has a tight race for winning the GP this year, and I'm sure that Barbara P. is concerned about this issue as well.
