Seems strange that we have no gb entry for double trap ?

Why no P Wilson ?

Are you sure Ian? No entry at all? Sounds a bit odd!!!!

 

[Les53]

I just checked Ian, yes you are correct, no guys doing DT! We only have one bloke doing the OT, Aaron Heading, he's going to have his work cut out there mate!!! I thought we would have at least a couple at DT and a couple at OT. How strange!!!!! I wonder why??

Just had a look on entry list on issf site and no mens gb ... Wonder why.

Only heading in trap. Also may be of interest that oldest trap shooter is 43 youngest 21 no hope for us then matey

Sure someone will be along shortly to tell us. Very strange why our leading Olympic gold medalist is not there.

I reckon the ISSF is an ageist outfit me self, how can they not have few doddery old gits on the team, surely that can't be allowed Ian?

Maybe they should have asked for volunteers Ian.......we could have gone and had a bash! I have an old step ladder in the garage, I could have painted it black and fixed it to the DT11 with gaffer tape and I would have been all sorted, probably got enough tape and ladder to do your EELL too, Team GBR don't know what they're missing mate!

Definitely ageism that's for sure.

On a serious note you would think they would have a vets class but i don't think they do. They have a woman's class and you know my thoughts on that one. Susan nattrass used to compete against men before they made a separate girlie class i believe. She is my shooting hero, i love strong women who do not consider themselves second class citizens.

World Cup Finals are invitation only. You qualify at previous world cups - Mr Wilson is having a gap year. Good on him.

Cheers Fred......so now we know!

 

[ips]

So do you have to have won a previous world cup ?

 

[Les53]

Yes maybe.......but Fred also said it was by invite only!!!!  Surely Ian, they MUST know who WE are don't they? We shouldn't need to shoot qualifiers, not people of our stature, it should be a privilage for them just to have us attend. And all for pies and booze too!!!

One thousand nine hundred and sixteen people at the last count know who you are.

 

[ips]

Is that all

 

[Les53]

What? How the hell did Fred work that out? How does he always know more than we do Ian?

Fred how do you know that? Maybe Ian and I should have a fan club!

He is like gandolf mate he knows things that we mere mortals have no understanding of. Just accept it there is another level that we are not part of.
