Kevin,
It is I that should have typed more clearly. I knew exactly what you meant. Our stage was very equal in challenge no matter which color was called. There was no bias for distance, difficulty of shots, or right/left handedness, no matter which color was called.

But you are absolutely right. For example: if the no-shoot happens to be the only target that is 25 yards out, then that shooter got a break by not having to make a long shot the others shooters had to make.

No matter how the no-shoots are marked, this is a real issue. Lots of stuff goes into designing truly great COFs. I've seen many of your COFs, and of course I love them.

Thanks for clarifying...
