Gimp,
First, I don't think a slow prone shoot-off is necessarily a fair way to determine the winner of an XTC match.
Second, a shoot-off is only valid as a final stage if the top shooters from each relay are selected. That's the practice for Long Range where conditions can often make a huge difference.
As the P100 shoot-off is done now it's possible for all 20 shooters to be from whatever relay had the best conditions. While in reality another shooter may have been on a different relay in the worst conditions and is arguably the better shooter for having placed 21st.
I'm familiar with Gary's achievements as a competitive shooter; they are very impressive.
His work as DCM made the CMP into the dynamic organization it is today. The CMP Games (in all their forms, National, Western, Eastern, and club) were a masterstroke. They have brought more people into highpower competition that anyone could have imagined. The same goes for nearly all the other CMP programs.
But nobody bats 1000 and in my view the P100 shoot-off is a swing and a miss
