Fred.....There are several ways, as timb99 above said. The fastest, and easiest way is to flip a coin, or cut the cards for the win. That being said, I firmly believe ties for trophies should be shot off, thereby determining which shooter was the best shot for that particular day or event. Shoot-offs can be held "miss and out" to limit the number of targets thrown and reduce the time necessary to hold the shoot off. This will allow the best shooter to win by actually shooting off against others. Let the shooters that tie determine whether to flip, carry over, or shoot it off. If it is to be a major ATA event, it will be to your benefit to allow, and encourage shoot-offs. After all, that is the reason a lot of shooters compete in ATA registered shooting: To make it to the shoot-off circle and enjoy the rush. Why deprive them of the pleasure of doing so? I think that by not allowing shoot-offs, you are setting your club up for some negative feedback. If your club cannot afford to throw shoot-off targets you may want to re-think your entry fees, etc. Bottom line is that shoot-offs are a big part of registered shooting and not one to be taken lightly...Just my opinion......Dan Thome (Trap2)
