good turn out today over 70 entries and the weather held out only down side was a top shooter who made a comment which upset a new shooter

all in all a good day

 

[Will Hewland]

Was the comment safety related lower mount?

 

[lowermount]

no just rude which could have put some people off and it was said to a female

 

[Will Hewland]

Seems bad. I know my wife is hyper sensitive to others comments when shooting and can be put off very easily.

 

[lowermount]

yer i know what you mean she has only shot about 8 times being a novice. she was on a stand and it was said (out loud) iam not watching this sh-t then he walked away. lots of other top shooter today was helping her but it only takes one to put you down

 

[Will Hewland]

Sounds unforgivable. If you go to small shoots there will always be learners. Often they are doing it badly and being 'instructed' by somebody who has no idea. Sometimes I will bu in with some help, but rudeness is inexcusable.

Thats poor form You say top shooter, I say prima donna or big fish small pond. All of the proper top shots I have ever met wouldnt dream of making that kind of comment, far too focused on their own shooting and ambassadors of this fine sport.

Idiots like that should be told.

Not acceptable in any sport.

New and beginners are the life blood of any sport and should be welcomed.

 

[Will Hewland]

Big fish small pond is right. If you are too good to be with novices, don't go to Flightline or similar..

 

[lowermount]

yer spot on we all try to get new blood in to the sport and thats the last thing you need and from a county shooter as well who should know better lets hope he dont come back soon and stays at g/bottom rant over

 

[EdSolomons]

Probably used to shooting at Horne and thinking hes good! Hope next time someone puts the tit right.

[lowermount]

no a local shooter to the ground and a berkshire county shooter

 

[jinxy72]
