Should he? But that does bring up a good point. Should an owner or manager who influences the rules, therefore the outcome, be allowed to compete? 

Wow Boggus,,,,,,,,, I go slow and throw some misses every match so I don't win,,,😂😂

But I love shooting so stop suggesting things or questions like that ! 😂😁 Misty does too!!!

I am always amazed at how many first time or nearly first time SASS shooters attend state and above matches.

I get this is an entertainment business but I sure hope WB doesn't get dumbed down to the point where it is SASS with a 1911 because of how EOT unfolded..

That has been the issue forever.  When you have an event that is designed to be competitive but is also designed to be entertainment (Cowboy Renaissance Festival for all intents) you're going to get a lot of different skill sets and that isn't going to change nor should it.   We are the only shooting sport that doesn't have qualification rounds to get to the National or World level.  It's been that way since the beginning.  That's why it's important to have qualified RO's and at the same time not whine about SDQ's because they are going to happen.

There are certainly other sports where pros and amateurs get to compete on the same surface.  Drag racing is widely admired for that.  No, I can't enter into the NHRA nationals.  But I can race on the surface where they do it.
