 Interesting perspective - Barnes Pneumatic
Regarding the plinking at the tournament ranges: During Friday and Saturday, we all tried to co-exist - Tournament shooters and plinkers.
It was understood that folks needed to check their zero - get loosened up - etc. In practice, what we had was this: Every time we'd turn around, someone would want to know if they could shoot the targets which were set up for the tournaments.
By Sunday, it was clear that the system was not working and that those plinking weren't just checking their zero prior to joining in the games.
