If I may make a suggestion to the stage designers for Africa Champs, from the point of view of a participant.

There are going to be a lot of shooters, with a high round count.

It degrades the experience on the day when there are continuous delays due to range failures.

I understand the need to make each stage challenging and enjoyable.

Please try and keep away from the complex, mechanical contraptions that are prone to snapped cables and unreliable triggering.

It is possible to create challenging, brain engaging, enjoyable stages without excessive use of mechanical targets.

Good suggestion S, I think you have an opportunity to submit your COFs for the match.

I am booked and paid for the champs, looking forward, though taking the Course of Fire on with a Rollie is going to be VERY interesting :)

Booked and paid!
