I guess that comment was directed toward me.
I have read his rules, again, and the way he has them written I'm still not sure if his shoot is just for ASSRA members, or any lead bullet shooters, I see that he says any ASSRA legal rifle can be used and I understand all that, but he never said if a shooter had to shoot CAST bullets, if so that may leave some really good shooters out of the match. 

I'm begining to think that Frank has the best idea,
and for me to think Frank had a good idea scares me.

Frank said:
"Why not just shoot the target at a match, have the Schuetzenmister score it. If it qualifies have him sign it and send to Joe for the $100. Much simpler"

I notice that joe b seems to be concerned that there are NO TRICKS, he mentioned that twice, so having it shot at a match and a Schuetzenmister sign it as "official" should satisfy him that there were NO TRICKS.

Now that I'm thinking about it never mind, I feel kind of foolish even trying to do something like this or even asking some of the shooters I know to give it a try.

Joe B it would be a good idea to have the targets witnessed and signed off. No different than the Postal Matches.

ST,
We are still on the same page...........very scary, huh?

Frank

Where are you fellows coming up with this stuff? Joe B. made this statement in the very first post."All profits to the ASSRA. 
Who's first? joe b". The Kitty goes to the ASSRA not to pay out those who succeed.

In regards to going over to the dark side that has and will not happen. The darkside is that group of people who would do anything to prove a point and I am not in that group, never have been and never will. I don't agree with Joe B. in the least but I also won't sit back and let him be taken advantage of either. Believe it or not given the opportunity their are some who would take a stack, of targets or would try to do so out to the range until they were able to shoot those 1/2 inch and under groups and would then tell Joe B. to pay up. Same holds true on distance shot. Thus the recommendation of having the target witnessed while being shot. 

The way I read it the payout does not go to the shooter for his efforts the payout goes to the ASSRA. A fund raiser of sorts to support the ASSRA of which is a good thing.

One of the more respectable things JoeB has said on this forum.  I think the $100 prize(s) awared by JoeB should be accompanied with a signed certificate for accomplishing the almost impossible.  "The prestigeous JoeB 1/2" Award."

Frank,
Yes, very scary, but I always try an give credit when credit is due, you had the best idea and the most fool proof idea. Remember what joeb said NO TRICKS and your way would be best to insure that there were NO TRICKS, but joeb just changed the rules, AGAIN.

I cant believe that J Louis does not want to be on the right side of the dark side with us, does he know we have cookies ?.

I have to agree with you again, it's now way to complicated, with all the stuff being sent to one guy, then another guy, than back to some other guy, etc., etc., nonsense and complicated, and what happened to joeb and putting his money where his mouth is, what happened to that ?.

The guys that I know that were thinking of shooting cant now because of his CAST bullet rule, all they shoot now is swaged lead so that leaves them out. Ever since Andy Z shot that record group with those swaged bullets they came over to the dark side with us and sold off all there casting equipment to the cavemen, those guys are still mining lead, melting it, poring it into those antique things called moulds and trying to shoot a better group than the Record group that Andy Z shot, it ain't going to happen but their old and it gives them something to do in their retirement.

Is this another "We have to pass the bill so you can find out what is in it" scenario?   

Gee! I have a new title. Never thought I'd live long enuf to become a has-been.

Now John I think your getting a little promiscuous tarring most of the users on this forum as has-beens.
