Perhaps a rule change, limiting shooter's height to 5'8", would insure the field is more equal? I'm 6'1"

By the time you have used up that case practicing and have a few matches under your belt, you will have a better idea of what works for you. We have had National champions of all sizes using these rules. I don't think the "rules " will hinder your quest.

I'll let you know how my first match goes. All of the levity and frivolity had me rolling out of my chair and onto the floor. I especially liked the comment where one of the guys wanted to make the turkeys bigger. On a serious note, I really do appreciate everyone's help.
