He was caught "fingering" his shot holes trying to make them tens.

Without getting into any particular cases, it always amazes me that there are`people who think that jury members and other range officials have not seen it all before...

I hope they hammer this guy! Our sport is based on honor and honesty and if he feels he needs to cheat in order to win, he should not be allowed to compete. Just my $0.02.

fingering hole...

I don't know that he was trying to make them 10's?. I do know you are not to touch any where close to a bull when retrieving targets. Is it possible they saw him looking too closely at a bull that may have been close?[/quote]

The jury has taken care of it. Focus on the front sight instead.

What a magnificent suggestion.

Far too many shooter worry about things other than the shooting (any excuse will do)
