I'm going, although with 250 entries and no squading I think I might take a sleeping bag just in case.

There wont be any problems with the finishing time, Tom and Deb really know how to run competitions with large entries.  I've reff'ed this shoot for years and it's never been dark when Iv'e got home (I live 30+ miles away).

Squading far better from a reffing point of view, because your not freezing your tats off while people look for the nice stands to start, you only ever have a max of 12 people round the stand at any one time, the flow is constant and tempers remain even, so the reff don't get people in there ear, stating the obvious, "busy ref" "why is there a quu" "have you had a breakdown," and my favourite, trying to force cards in my hand when they can see its busy , they don't see that for the first hour and a half, I haven't seen a shooter.... .... Squading every time for me.

 

[Chris Bubb]

I have seen a lot more than 12 at a stand when its been squaded many a time. At least when its not squaded you can wander round and find a quieter stand.

 

[Eddie Wilkinson]

"Ok Eddie will say hello if I see you on the way round .. Hope you both shoot well ...."

Thanks, hopefully we'll catch up, shoot straight
I'll be the one wearing a stupid hat :crazy:  and looking bedraggled, little fella will no doubt be sharp looking as usual :nyam:

I can't vouch for other shoots, but in the 20 years I've been reffing at Hodnet, it's very rare to see more than two squads waiting, I wish more people followed your example and wandered to quieter stands, hope you enjoy the shoot

Will be there, planning an early start. Enjoy everyone. Wrap up warm
