At our Gun Shoot we give away a rifle for each 100 targets. After everyone has shot, a score among all those scores shot is drawn at random, and everyone with that score is in the shootoff, miss and out. Sometimes the shootoffs can get quite populated, while others may be won outright. For example, this year in our Event 5 (100 Singles) one shooter was really struggling with a gun that didn't fit and was beating her up. She finished with a 42, but her score was drawn, and she won the rifle without a shootoff. In contrast, in Event 1 (100 Singles) there were nine scores of 100, and 100 was drawn. We put in a wedge in the Superstar so that the targets were traveling about 70 yards, and set it in the #5 hole, and commenced the shootoff, miss and out. All nine guys had a shot from station #1, and then we moved to station #2, where the first guy from the previous round moved to the end of the line, and so on. After station #5 we had lost only about three of the nine, so we turned on the wobble feature. It took fifteen birds before we finally got a winner, but everybody, including the spectators, had a great time.
Event 2 (100 handicap) had a draw score of 98 (again high in the event), and two 27-yards shooters with that score. It took two rounds of 70-yard #5 hole targets to determine a winner on that one. On one of the doubles matches with a 95 draw score and a half-dozen participants, speeding up the targets and turning on the oscillation got it done in a few stations.
In situations like these, nobody wants to get into a marathon shootoff. As long as all participants agree, making the targets much tougher in speed and angle is a good alternative.
