with 2 shooters it will work great--and be a real good time
more than once I've seen guys behind [down range]our target [unknowingly!]retrieving arrows --usually on some of the newer and not well designed courses

Me and a buddy shot at the house on Monday using the Bear rules only we counted the vitals as 10 wounds as -5 and misses as as 0.

It was an eyeopener for sure and is not for the faint of heart or those who can't handle a low score   :saywhat:

But it was fun and placed the emphasis on making a kill shot over just scoring, will do it again and probably use this for scoring at the Spring Fling this weekend.
Everything I have and have become is due to the Lord and his great mercy.

Be wary of letting the shooters pick their shooting spot, or at least make sure your club's insurance is paid up.  Many won't know the course layout and unsafe shots are bound to happen.  I've shot with guys who like to play "follow the leader" instead of shooting the stakes on 3D rounds.  Really had to watch them or they would be shooting where a glance could have been ugly.
