Note a couple minor changes to the course of fire:

• The requirement to shoot all 30 shots for a position in the same session has been redacted.

I have no desire to shoot from sticks or offhand LOL. But, I will buy either a trigger stick or print a bracket to hold a couple of PVC pipes and participate this month.

Ahhhh, off-hand and sticks are both fun. Of course I had zero desire to buy a stick, so I used one from mother nature.

Just curious why the redaction on same session?

Fair question, should have opened for discussion first. Thought was to make it even easier to participate.
Thirty off sticks can be done fast & physical input is pretty mild. Offhand it requires more stamina, & more time if you're resting & resetting concentration between shots.

Just trying to eliminate barriers to participate, but in hindsight should really have opened for discussion. Not even sure the same session thing is even a barrier to anyone.

Will leave the same session rule redacted for this month since I done done it ... Toward months end, will solicit feedback on whether or not to include in the future. Sound reasonable?
