New scoring system at Camp Perry 2010

[Maury Krupp]

NRA has a habit of not soliciting comment or explaining rule changes. Why should this one be any different?

CMP has a habit of slow-leaking on rule changes. It's been nearly three months since the NRA change and still no official position from CMP on Standing for Rapids. Why should this one be any different?

I think the "traditional" is clearer and faster if only scoring Xs, 10s, and 9s.

I'm not fully convinced on the safety claims. Just like if the X, 10, & 9 are too low, if the 6, 7, or M are too high that's what your Leatherman is for.

I can live with either scoring system; currently I'm having to live with both. So pick one already

Sometimes I just wish they'd stop stirring the $hit long enough to get through a match without a bunch of rule changes

I remember using the long paddels at Parris Island in 85. It took about 90 years to realise this thing could and did fall on people like an axe. But it looked real cool when watching from the firing line. Those were the days.
I really don't see the advantages of the new system, unless you are a short guy. But there is nothing wrong with the new way either. It's just not a big deal to me. Just pick one and go with it.

I just used the new system today. Our club is using it already full-time. I do like it in the pits. It's much quicker. I adapted to it very quickly. It's "pretty good" out on the line, but it can take just a bit longer to try to discern the scores at the bottom line of the target since it's now a bit crowded. I think I can live with that. I could live with it the other way as well. I'll be glad when we are all changed over to one method. This weekend at Camp Perry, I think I'll have to switch over to the "old method", but I'm not certain yet.
