David and a couple others worked on a goose comp idea once, sort of similar. My initial idea was 3 boxes, 90 shots, most geese. One initial test proved that to be a bad idea. SO then 1 box of 30 - Again, trying to get those shots lined up with 3 and 4 geese took a lot of time.
We found it just impossible getting more than 75/80 geese I think within an acceptable amount of time. We surmised it just wouldn't be that fun of a comp but more of a grinder.
Might have to test a couple of those ideas to really know how it could go.
I haven't hunted the snow's much but I haven't been happy with any setup's I've tried. I keep wanting to setup like the honkers but I haven't figured out the sweet combination. But, I'll try it for sure!

Re: Wonderful Idea for a Goose comp?
Good feedback. If Cal tried making a comp like this, and it wasn't any fun then maybe I should reevaluate the idea. I did a test run with Smokin1 last night, we blew through more than 30 shells each easily, and yeah, we managed less than 50 Snow Geese when it was all added up. We didn't only hunt the geese tho'. I think most would be trying for those double and triple kills. Well, shite you ruined it for me Rad... Respect,

It was my concept btw I thought I was a wise ass with doubles/trips and such~ but it was about statistics and calculating a "best shooter" outcome nothing to do with scoring as that is arbitrary using just numbers, hit% and so on.

Well, right here was a perfect setup for a wise@$$ comment or two, but I'm feeling generous tonight so I'll just let it slide by...Radamus wrote:I didn't ruin anything for you - just helping you think it through.BCKidd wrote:Good feedback.

Working 2 jobs doesn't leave enough time for hunting!
