Measuring distances
Badger:
Jules, I like the right angle method presently used but as long as we all do it the same way it wouldn't be that important. Not a huge difference with a 50 yard wide field.
Buckeye Guy:
How do we figure in the wind or is it just noted ?
I am not sure there is ever an hour of no wind on this flat ground here .
Badger:
Buckeye, good point. Currently they simply use whatever wind to the advanatage of the shot. I have never liked this. I am working on a go no go type windsock where if it is on no go records would not count or they would be lableled as wind aided. I would think about 10 mph would be a reasonable number to shoot under. Might need some statistical info here to make a good call on a fair wind.
Jules:
Wind measurer in the officials kit then? :P
Badger:
Thats would be my rcomendation. My opinions on things have no special or stronger influence on what we settle on. I do plan to argue them but will remain open to what the majority is in favor of. We may start with a preliminary trial year to make a few adjustment if needed in rules and such. It really should not be neccessary though.
