In light of the discussion on BR central about the World Shoot, I would like to carry this over to a hopefully positive discussion on this sight.
 What can we do to better prepare for a Team orientated shoot like the World Shoot?
 Can we shoot more shoots with teams involved? Can we come up with a detailed plan to study, if we make it on to the team, that lays out how to best support each other. The American teams are not the only ones who have been bit by teams falling apart. It is almost inevitable that some one will have a blooper, mistake, powder in the action or chamber, so focused they shot their group on the sighter moment. Do we start hucking gravel at team members if they are on the wrong target. Do we even watch for team members struggling and needing a back up rifle?
 The team format does change how things are done, you can win or lose by one shot from any of the team members, you all go down when it goes wrong.
 In light of the time and expense involved in qualifying and competing at the world level, shouldn't this be discussed? We do have quite a few shooters who have competed at a World Shoot looking at the amount of competitors we have in Canada. Some have been fortunate and hard working enough to be able to attend several and some a few but the experience should allow for some great ideas.

Any reports on the last 2 Elmira shoots?

 Ranges that are enclosed by dirt walls or trees usually are called fish bowl ranges and create some highly improbable wind patterns across the field. This is becoming more and more the norm because of more and more restrictions on rifle ranges as time goes.
 What do you do when all the flags in front of you never settle into a pattern but are doing all different things at different velocities? How successful were you using the technique or pattern you look for? Do you run them or pick?

 I like it so far, I was going to ask if there was a way of highlighting new posts on the other forum as it was getting hard to stay up to date without checking everything.
