Far as I'm concerned, only those who have mastered a game have any right to complain that it's too easy.
If you're not AA-27-A and shoot 400x400 regularly then shut up.
I get sick of blowhards. Pay your entry fee, play the purses, and learn to shoot under pressure to perform.
You can start with your gun in your truck as far as I'm concerned, and fetch it after you call for the target.
The 'any position' rule takes the judgement of a referee out of the game. The only thing that matters then is if the target breaks. It's an equalizer and it makes the shoot easier to run. If you don't like it, shoot something else.
Simple as that.
If you think perfection at a game where pre-pubescent female children can be perfect is some measure of judgmental capability then you really are in trouble. I don't have to master squat to realize that a game sucks. I can't speak to skeet since I'm not a skeet shooter (tho the endless perfect scores and shootoffs clearly indicate suck), but the ATA trap sucks mightily for many reasons (shared by skeet) and there is not doubt of that. And I don't shoot ATA trap anymore since my tolerance for incessant whining about the ______ (insert any reason for poor performance) and the near mind-numbing boredom of the targets. Won't be long before they only shoot straight aways from station 3.
I can cop to being a crappy shot and not suffer any but that does not hinder my assessment of ATA trap and US skeet as inferior, potentially sleep inducing games in a tournament setting. And the saddest aspect is that there is no reason for that to be the case.
