Well what a fantastic 2 days shooting, 3 if you count Kibworth on Saturday.
The organisation behind the Worlds, was spot on, the 2 courses were top notch, the company was again, superb, the non shooting hours were easy to while away, even Saturdays drizzle didn't really put a damper on it for me, but todays weather was lovely.
Thanks for the company Guy and Danny, great shooting with you both.
Only one thing could have improved the weekend for me, closer car parking for gun storage and filling etc.
Well done Keiran , and all the other winners. All 250 of us..............

Apart from the weather on the first day(can't help that) it was one of the best events I've ever been to, the setup was professional in every way, from the running to the signage. Pete Dutton and Pete Sparkes and the lads that helped out on organising and construction of the course should be proud of what they have achieved in such a short space of time.
This event will highlight HFT and help bring new talent into the sport which sadly I will have to leave behind due to back and leg problems that are getting worse.
Hopefully I will visit next year as a visitor and my son Henrik doing the shooting.
Well done for an excellent event.
Also a big hand for the event sponsors for the donated prizes and to Ian Hartford that helped make all this happen.
All the best

Basically what everybody else has said, a brilliant weekend, a testing warm up at Kibworth on Saturday then WHFTA Sunday and Monday.
Superb work by the organisers, great venue, courses that were well thought out, they even sorted out different weather for both days!
Brilliant shooting by Kieran, he must have nerves of steel:D
All in all, 10/10 lads, will definitely be back to lovely Leicestershire next year:)

No probs gareth, it was good shooting with you too, agian like you i shot well enough on the sunday but crap on the monday?
Great courses and a great weekend overall, cheers
Would like to add my thanks to Pete and everyone else involved in this cracking weekend, being a complete comp virgin thought this would be a great one to start on and i was not disappointed, and even managed to pull a P.B out of the bag as well which was great, plus thanks to Bruce and Philippa for putting up with me and keeping me on the straight and narrow over the two days LOL.
What was a real eye opener was how many great shooters are out there which has now given me something to aim for, don't think ill ever be that good (60x60) but who knows LOL.

That was the most I've enjoyed an HFT shoot in ages. :)
I had to do some quick aim point working out on both days and my scores reflect that but it was all the more satisfying when the target went down. ;)
Add to that two great sets of shooting partners (I'm crap at remembering names) Steve Something and Jon De Something (we need more Netherlands shooters at HFT events, Jon was great fun :D) on day one and Steve SomethingElse and Spencer AnotherChap on day two and you have all the ingredients for an ace time. :D
The organisers deserve a great deal of praise for making the event what it was, so well done to Pete, Pete and everybody else. :)
Thanks also to Tom for a few hours chat and to Andy, Al 'The Hat' et al for a very funny Sunday night. The other person present knows who he is and was diplomatic and funny at the same time. Good work fella. :D
Oh and it was good to see Kes again for a somewhat abbreviated chat. ;)
The only downside is going to be for Lord Kelmarsh when he sees the state of his garden! :eek: :D
Oh and thanks to the 30 something lady who walked in front of me for a couple of minutes with the tweed skirt and the hunter boots. Who knew wellies could be so sexy! :eek::o:D

Well i'd like to say thanks to all the shooters who turned up to make the event it was and to all the overseas shooters who came, hope you felt it was worth the trip.
To all the courses setters and marshals and those who helped on the day.
To Ian Harford and all the Countryman Fairs lads and lasses, when we left the beer tent on Sunday night they were replacing the zero target under torch light so it would be ready for us on Monday morning:cool:
Cheers

What a fantastic weekend!
Well done to Pete Dutton & co; not only for the weekend but all the prior planing. A BIG thank you to all the course setters who gave up a day to lay out a very enjoyable couple of courses.
Ta Daz for letting us bunk in with ya, bet you regret that now :D
Enjoyed the company of Bert & Dorian, good couple of shooting partners.
Very well done to Kieren, what a star, and all the other guys and girls who shot well enough to take away some silverware!
ROLL ON THE NEXT ONE!

Oh that's right. I knew your BBS name was a car.

Now that we have the shiny new chat room sub-section in the events bit, am starting to move competition orientated threads from the general section to said sub-section where such threads will find ready receptive cyber ears :).
This is because as most BBSers aren't into HFT or FT, a lot of people are complaining about competition orientated threads being in the general section, so hope you all agree this is for the best (and am sure you’ll let me know if you don’t :rolleyes:). Ha ha. Atb: G.
