Dubai Tournament

[shootinguru]

Chubby, all the info I have is that there is 1 cypriot target setter (Yanis) 2/3 Cypriot referees?  Last week there was 41 "Yanks" (confirmed)  Russians?

Brits 150+,   French only the BIG dawgs, Cypriots?  400 UAE? Nah there ain't that many shooters there?

I may have missed news about this Nic - did you go to Egypt for that big Helice event in Cairo last year?

I have to say, I didn't see any press about that, so maybe it didn't happen?  Apologies if I've missed something here but your comment about Helice in the desert reminded me. 

It was cancelled at the death because being in central Cairo it was just toooooo dangerous. Luckily BA gave us all our money back (on non-refundable tickets).....good company. Three of my Portuguese friends went out in November for a competition ....but said it is not really safe yet.

Needed for the bookies.

YOU DON'T KNOW LARS IKEA?  bloody hell he has furniture shops all over the world! :crazy:

Scotty just posted this for anyone going to Dubai......??

 

[shootinguru]

Apparently the ground has dried out a little so there is a good chance the shoot will go ahead? reved:  

 

[Jeremy Baker]

Less than two weeks now.

A post on Shotgun World (USA)  Joe Cantey (USA Fitasc board rep) states that the shoot is now officialy recognised a a National Grand Prix

but not a World Cup event!  this means its now run to Fitasc rules! :hunter:

is there anywhere that lists the entries ? would be interesting to see who is going % wise from each country ?

You're right it would be. No list as yet.

Entries close tomorrow so hopefully after that and before we get there.

[maddmatt]

Haha Steve, classic. Did you not see the torrential rain storm Dubai had? Take a brolly!

 

[Steve Lovatt]

Might be the case Matt , but it will be warm rain

 

[Will Hewland]

Just occasionally Dubai has rain. And it's chaos. No drainage there. But very rare..
