My 2 cents worth...


Yesterday was the most fun I have had at a HFT event

Twice I had to stop what I was doing and wipe away tears and recompose myself before attempting to hit a blurry target.

I know Charles pushed his Tena lady all the way yesterday as he was giggling like an eight year old with me

Great shoot, great course, great company, great burgers! Thanks Aunty and all you Oakies!

75 people there I beleive?

Real shame we get the few complete to$$ers who have to spoil it somehow, you really need to get a life, another hobby or a job and as the Grannie on Catherine Taite says;







FLICKIN CHILL OUT!!!!



And for the tw@t that thinks if shooter A allowed 1 milldot, shooter B should also allow 1 milldot 3 minutes later you realy need to take your head out of your ar$e and try sailing on a sunday morning..

Anyhow, as I said, just my 2 worthless cents ..

Ah well that's where i was going wrong; reading the wind, allowing 1.5 mil into the wind and seeing the pellet ignoring the wind and going straight as a die to plate it.

I should have paid attention to what the wind ignoring pellets were doing because that happened to me more than once.

That wind was very deceptive like a sultry siren from the deep.

Interesting experience and will it teach me any lessons in time for the next shoot? Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel.

I was about to come back with a witty rejoinder to Charles about Matt needing all the help he can get... until I realised it was Matt that accusations of recieving coaching were made at... if anyone needs coaching it's not likely to be the bloke that came 3rd in Southern Hunters

I can only assume it was someone new to SiHFT that complained as Charles and Matt's banter and gamesmanship has entertained through many a wet Sunday morning shoot!

Personally I shot the worst I have done for about 18 months and despite my boy being really ill he shot like a demon and has a huge smile on his face still. I had the best and most fun day out for ages... let's not spoil it by taking ourselves to seriously and focus on the fact it's supposed to be fun.

The wind pixies were having fun with us Ben, one shot I'd aim right and it would drift all the way back across to hit the leftside of the plate, the next shot I'd aim right and it would impact axactly on the crosshair yet the wind at the peg felt the same... evil Mile Oak wind pixies and their warped sense of humour toying with my pellets!

Sorry but the chinese whispers are at work again , that or it clearly went over my head ( doesn't take much ) . Did someone genuinely have a poke at Matt then or was is Charles and his usual brambling

Well shot young Jack you showed exactly how how much you have matured as a shooter yesterday , much more relaxed and taking your time on every peg .... bar one resulting in a well deserved 53 ! lol
I think we both learnt a lot about reading the wind which can only be a good thing , once you start beating me though you can sling yer hook laddie !!!

if someone had a pop at matt " for coaching a youngling ) then who was it ???

i seem to remember that sihft was set up as a fun shoot .

If someone is going to be that anal maybe the said person should stay at home or just FLUCK OFF .

Just seen on another thread and think it was directed at Charles - I could be wrong though ? Who the hell could Mog help lol

[B]Well shot young Jack you showed exactly how how much you have matured as a shooter yesterday

Dave you really need to be a bit more brutal when knocking his rifle if you want to stay in front!



just kidding Jack, won't be long until you are leaving us old grumps in the dust

Like I say Cliff , the old kicking the rifle twice tactic didn't work sadly I think the secong kick must have re zero'd it again . Damn those pesky kids !

I think there's a mathematical formula for knocking a rifle/scope off zero. But it basically comes down to knocking only in odd numbers never even numbers.

Oh and a good firm kick to a barrel band works wonders.

Or you could get Jack to spin round a few times on the spot first. (Evil, pure evil)

That better not be aimed at me or we will be having some words Matthew

The current system is flawed, anyone & his dog can see that.

wow guys ive just been catching up on all this,
i thought i was watching some awful tv movie
theres lots of tension instead of suspense.
i hope none of this spiolt anyones day at the time!

[Steve L]

I'd like to think so Cliff but i do feel it was aimed towards me...


Right.
I'm sorry everyone that i speak my mind, i'm sorry that i'm competitive as well.
The current scoring system will not work, it can't.
How can it when someone who shoots as well or better than me gets 4 points added to their end score, junior or not.
It just seems like the comp is a waste of time to do if you're competing, & come on, since we've added badges & trophies it is a real comp now, some of us like to take it seriously you know .
I have nothing against Buxted, it's juniors or the other juniors doing well, it's great to see the scores they are putting in, it really is (& i go round with one remember) , i just feel it's unfair with the current system, if i score 58 on a bloody hard course & 'junior' scores 55 i'm beaten into 2nd, hows that fair ?
This is the point i am making & it also makes a mockery/shambles of the tables IMO.

Again sorry & i'll go get a life now shall i .....
