    Would you prefer shooting with added money at a shoot? Does added money affect which venues you choose?

    A recent statement by the Executive Director of the ATA says it has no impact at the grand.

    I report. You decide.

    ???? Like asking if we want to shoot for money or ribbons. Dipshit thinks money shooters want to shoot for ribbons.

    They would have to have a lot of money for me to go to Illinois. Tons of it!

    I am often amazed at the silliness of Lynn Gipson’s statements. I suspect there is another motive other than common sense.

    The over handicapped occupy the 27 shooters, with no chance at winning anything would never care about the money.

    The 27 is full of the “wont take reductions buddy shooters” who have the solid 70-80’s average! Haven’t been competitive for ever and might hope to hit a lewis occasionally. Added money has no interest to them.
    The shooters that are competitive in the mid 90’s range know its a suckers bet when it’s high gun. High gun payouts and no yardage groups helped the decline in the money. Gotta shoot a big number to touch high gun payouts.
