But I never expected 1717, one of, if not the, most precise shooters in the world, would use them. This really convinces me that you don't need complex systems to do well.

Leeland...you are correct. We switched to cross hair aiming at the Troy district and immediately saw a jump in our scoring numbers. It was worth approximately 2 balls/match.

Congratulations to 1717 on an incredible season. Easily the most accurate shooter this season.
