Shooting competitions are work as I hate to lose even a “friendly” competition and I am at the shoots to have fun.

I would never party, drink and stay up late prior to any competition. I would spend several days practicing and trying to get my blood pressure down, etc.

This isn’t the first time a competition have been proposed but the above is the reason we never had one. Also even among friends there are sore losers and that is a real downer for everybody.

You have a point.

I can’t argue with your logic about not wanting to have a shooting competition, Eaker. Makes perfect sense to me.

But we could still wager beers over who could hit a target first. Nothing official, and there wouldn’t be any sore losers that way. Just fun, like it’s meant to be.

Eaker, you have some good points that I hadn’t considered.

It’s settled then - no competition.

But we still got to get some group pictures of all the lever action rifles and their owners.

I gotta agree with Eaker on this one. I personally don’t care one way or the other when it comes to winning or loosing, but obviously some do, and as the man said, we’re here to have fun.
