Any one else notice the quality going way down?
« on: February 19, 2004, 08:41:41 AM »
I just got my 11 in a row plaque tonight. Is this a joke, or what?
The plaque I saw a couple of years ago was at least metal. This looks like a sticker placed on the wood.
Although I still am rather fond of the accomplishment I was disappointed in the award.

Mine are all wood with metal strips showing the score.  Must be something new this year.

Congratulations BTW, great shooting.

Great shooting mumzie.
We dont get anything for that over in the UK so anything is better than that.

Well I know the YABA has went down also. Everything is so cheap now. It's very disappointing.

Hey MumZ,

You're right, they have changed....for the worse.  No different then the rings either...went from stainless to "slaydium", back in the day, they used to GIVE "GOLD".  My buddy has one...

I have one of the better 290 plaques in my shop though..my bud went spare and then sheet, normal...the plaque came with strikes in the front 11 and 12th frame is blank...lol  I kept it amd hung it up in the shop for laughs...
