    Not only has the program been slashed in half, additional questions with no answers come to mind. Are the match fees cut in half? How are the Dewar/Randle teams comprised? Is it necessary to shoot the metric match to make these teams? Firing of these team matches can be held anytime from 7/14-7/18. Are competitors supposed to wait around for a week? How could anyone make reasonable plans for this summer trip? How could anyone in a position of salaried leadership manage these decisions in a worse manner?

    In addition to the shorten schedule they completely rearranged the order of the matches. Now Conventional Prone is first. My plan for 2016 was to shoot conventional matches only. If they followed the 2015 schedule, that would have been Conventional Position, the Conventional Prone. That would have provided a couple days of “practice” (shoot 3-P) before the Conventional Prone.

    And now I notice that the Dewar match and Randle match can be fired anytime between the day after Metric Prone completes and the last day of 3-P. Which means if you want to shoot just Conventional Prone and you make the one of these teams, you must spend a minimum of 3 nights and up to 7 nights to fire the match. In the past it was one night.

    I’m curious to find out what blog system you happen to be using?
    I’m experiencing some small security problems with my latest website and I’d like to find something more safeguarded.
    Do you have any recommendations?
