[NSRCA-discussion] Food for thought

[John Gayer]

At Lubbock last weekend there were 2 Sportsman, 3 Intermediate, 2 
advanced, 5 Masters and 4 FAI as i recall.. All threeof the contests in 
this area that I have attended have had about 17 contestants. El Paso 
had a total of 13 in Spotsman and Intermediate.which is a good sign for 
the future.
