What exactly am I going through now?

I don't have any opinion on this subject particularly, as I have said, I appreciate the wisdom and counsel of ALL of the experienced shooters on this site, people I know have been there and done everything, and I cannot believe that ANYONE thinks I'm not humble enough to accept that knowledge gratefully. However, I don't agree with this rubbish about experience entitling you to a more valid opinion than being a beginner. We all pay our money, so we're all entitled to our moment in the sunshine, and then to critique whether it was bright enough.

Anyway - I've only been here for 5 mins - so I'll say no more on the subject, and let the experts figure it out.
Well I am sorry Matt but that just says it all. Experience is what gives you the knowledge to know a bad shoot from a good shoot on a technical basis rather than an emotional basis.

How many times have I posted that I have shot rubbish but really enjoyed it because the shoot was good!

As for what you are going through......let me be clearer.....

What you are going through is the learning of a sport. This takes ages. Normally 3 year to start making a mark on a discipline at the competition level. As for encouragement....you only have to look on your Facebook pages to see how many times I have encouraged you whether you have shot well or not.......not to mention the many people I have introduced you to. You should know by now that I am friend not foe.

I would love to say that you have been at it 20 year but you have not. That is not your fault ....or Glen or Clynts or my fault that we have.

I do not really understand this response.

Can you not read........this is not about me!!

By the way......

I not only encourage all I meet into shooting....but I actually spent a lot of time working for it on 4 Boards..... Putting loads of miles on my motor......and many days off work........So I do not really know or understand what you are saying??

Suggest you do a bit of re-reading on this thread.

Many are ready to attack people when they are just stating the truth.......look, at yourself first I suggest.
I know its not about you

the original post was about a shoot that i shot on sunday,said i shot a P.B then get told that im shooting soft shoots whats that all about.

being told i dont see the whole picture then you come in and agree, one shoot will not take me to A class all we are saying is encourage not say you are shooting soft shoots especially when the person that started the soft shoot thing of has shot there three times and placed there how contradictory is that clynt

 
Off to find the clockwork key it needs winding up abit more ;)

 
Tip top I am totally happy that you shot a personal best and hope you enjoyed yourself. The discussion moved on from that to lots of others discussing shoots.

Not sure why people take all others comments so personally......or are some of us not allowed to have an opinion on the technicalities of shoots.

Anyway I am off to have my meal....had enough of try to sensibly discuss a subject or to correct views stated about people I know much better than anyone stating incorrect views. Do with it what you want.

Well if your comments are to wind people up then I can say I am checking out of this thread. I thought it was a sensible discussion. Bye peeps.....enjoy :)

the sport has plenty of juniors and seniors who have reached international standard without much experiance u dont have to put 100000 shells through !
 
Nicola,

Sorry if it narked, you but iam listening to people

I never take things personal on here. it's all opinions and views.

Just some people can be a bit contradictory at times in what they are telling you and what they are doing themselves.
