I did once match him target for target, the only difference was, I was shooting from the recognized stands, he was shooting from the next layout, an additional 30 yards away !Timps ,
Very , very well explained .
The point I am trying to make is how poor our associations are at running a good ship .
Some of you may remember a very good friend of mine being banned some years ago for cheating which he admitted he did do , but his mitigating statement was that so was a many good few more . In fact he was so good of a shot that on one occassion he did shoot 51 at a 50 bird shoot , a true score because they had got the total of the stands incorrect , but you can imagine how much fuel that put on the bonfire . He now lives in Australia but comes over for holidays and still shoots brilliantly .
When I mentioned this current mess his reply was " He's been doing it for years ".
So as far as I am concerned you pay your money ,shoot to the best of your ability and if you have a good day , don't be surprised if you get beaten .
Remember 'the pen is mightier than the sword.'
His Lad was not a bad shot either..................................at the age of EIGHT !
