Percussion shotguns in competitions

You are both right!  The proposal did not include the curent Elders class which was an error on the Committee's part.  It will remain. There were also limits on what shotguns a BP shooter could use which were in the current classes and were again omitted by the committee.

The motion does not replace the classes, but it does divide the existing classes.  It does add new classes such as the 2 pistol & rifle class.  At the congress meeting the motion was amended to retain teh current Pistoleer class structure and add a 2 pistol & rifle pistoleer class.  

Because the motion needed some "clean up" to bring it more in line with the existing classes' requirements. the motion was tabled.  The Ad Hoc Committee will address these requirements and resubmit the motion in the near future.

The Ad Hoc Committee went to work literally the next morning.

This will be resolved very quickly. I am sure all the hard work put in by the Ad Hoc Committee will pay off and everyone should be pleased.

Remember that this was intended to define classes at the Regional and National level only. Clubs are still able to experiment at the local level just as in the past, so long as basic NCOWS guidelines are maintained.

Definitely!  While the by-laws state that these classes must be made "available" at local posse shoots, posses can continue to offer as many new, different and addtional classes as desired by their members.

Jeff, I don't know how asking questions implied anger. Sorry you took it that way.

I was pointing out that just by reading the proposal it is obvious it was not eliminating current categories.

In my question in response to your post I should have worded it "which would be eliminated?"

If you replace six apples with a half a dozen more it's still six apples.

Thank the others for clearing this up and thank all on the committee for their hard work on this.
