    Director Brasser brought back to the floor recommendations for changes to the State Team requirements.  Each recommendation was presented as a motion as follows:

                  To remove the requirement that shooters must apply to the

                  CGSTA Secretary – would apply to the 2006 target year for

                                                   No.... 5

                                              Abstain.... 4

                  Additional discussion on the issue suggested doing a

                  shooter poll at the State Shoot.

    Continuing with his presentation Director Brasser recommended the removal of the restriction that only targets shot in California, at the ATA Grand American, and the Spring, Golden West, and Western Satellite Grands be considered in the average computations.

                  Motion:  Brasser        Second:  Kirby         

                  That all targets shot be counted in average computations.

                        By hand count.....Yes....11

                                           No.... 7

                    Motion failed as yes count does not qualify as majority

                  Motion:  Spolar         Second:  Johnson 

                  To add issue as a poll for the shooters at the State Shoot.

                        Passed: by hand count....Yes...9
