Bring them closer watch the calculators come out and the cribb sheets become books. Needn't be 8 maybe 10. Incorporate them into pipe shots got to be a good way to even the field.
Monkey.
There’s nothing stopping people shooting 40y zero and high mounts. The problem with the suggestion of allowing 15mm kills less than 13yds is that they are often not shootable/visible after half the competitors have shot at the target. This is unfair on those who shoot the target last or even in the second half of the session. This is predictsble and avoidable and the main reason that I understood that the rule was changed before.
