We are not worried about a trophy. Just didn't know how serious folks were there. Didn't want to take the fun out of it for her. She is excited, she made a count down calendar and everything
That's the best thing about the trad guys. It's all about fun and not serious competition. When you shoot the coarse you can go with just you and your family or a few friends,or whoever you want. It's good to have groups of about 3-6 people so it flows better, but there's no official watching you. You just shoot your target and wait on the group ahead of you and go from target to target. Some targets are 30-50 yards apart and some may be a little farther. It's all very informal and on the honor system if you want to keep score. There's no money prize involved so it would take a special kind of person to be so needy as to cheat.
Sometimes they will have a special event where you shoot in front of people in a shoot off but that's usually completely separate.
