They met the target requirements!!

 

[Border Bandit]

I don't expect it's necessary to say this; but there are events at the Grand where the state teams do compete. Furthermore, making a state team is more than target requirements, and is based upon #'s of targets in three disciplines, shooting prescribed events at state shoots and most importantly, combined averages in all three, generally above 90%. Please don't trivialize those who have accomplished these goals. They've shot well and are to be congratulated.

I made our state team in 2000 and had no idea that I had or what it was! About a week prior to the Grand that year, I received a call from someone at the PSSA (Chuck Fritzges, perhaps) to find out of I would be able to participate in some event during "Grand week." I only went to the Grand for preliminary days and then mainly to shop but it was kind of cool to receive that call even though I was so clueless about the subject.

Border Bandit,

Well said.

Congrats to all who made the team.

Making the state team is more than meeting target requirements-true. Unfortunately, the teams have become so watered down by so few shooters shooting those large #'s of targets-especially in categories-that making target requirements have become the major prerequisite. Modifying those requirements lower, especially in these trying times, might make those team category awards more meritorious!!

Hey, MoSheen, it was just a question, not a criticism.

I agree with oleolliedawg! They have meet the target requirements. I am not saying they are not great shooters. Im just saying that there are also a bunch of great shooters that dont make the team, only because the target requirement is to much.

Just because you make the state team.. does not mean you shoot on the state team at the Grand.
