Sussex Interclub 2009 - Round 1 Results

[MojoCrow]

Mmmmm? Little girls and boys trapped in the back of my van, like the sound of this (where's the 'Dirty Old Man' smilie when you need it?)

I wondered what happened to those scouts that traipsed through after the shoot had ended. Don't know about a dirty old man smilie, should look like Albert Steptoe though. You'll just have to settle for a fnarr.

Sorry Alan, i'm not singling out your boys, just a flaw in the scoring system as it is.

I will be at the worlds next weekend....I would think nothing finer than a Buxted junior lifting a trophy (it will happen)
Scott, Craig and Stuart go to WORLDS, enjoy yourself, be proud and come home home with some tin ware.......I truly think you all have a great chance of victory, you all have such old heads on such young shoulders, last sunday proved that so well....

See you on sunday, I would say "good luck" but that doesn't pay a part in your shooting, so bowlocks......see you in the beer tent after the presentation..

Like finely tuned athletes, they are in their groove and are peaking in their shooting fitness.

I feel sorry for anyone seriously fancying their chances against those three.

Go on the lads!

Righty ho chaps

If anyone has a problem about the way the series is being run I would ask that they contact either Mike Burgess, Mike Byford, Andy Simpson, Derek Watson or myself - preferably directly, rather than in open forum. If we can fix it, we will.

Remember we are purely a bunch of ordinary shooters who happen to be enthusiastic enough about our sport to put a shedload of time and effort into organising and running it. There has been a huge amount of effort put into getting this series going again, it didn't just happen. It is dispiriting at best to see yet another row erupt.

I reiterate, if anyone has a problem, we will discuss it and try and sort it out, we are aware of this issue but we like to do things democratically - which involves talking to each other, and that can take time.

Regards

Richard

Great pictures Alan, I see you and Spongerina might be related now.
arf!

Sorry Alan, i'm not singling out your boys, just a flaw in the scoring system as it is.

Steve, you're singling out one and it's coming across as sour grapes.
I've tried to stay away from this, as quite frankly, whether you care or not, I think it's pathetic.
I don't suppose it'll affect Craig and his moment of glory. Yesterday was his and he was a joy to behold, virtually everything fell before him, he may never be able to repeat it, but I'd put money on him against anyone after the way he shot.
There was nothing wrong with the scoring system when juniors were not regarded seriously at the outset, when yourself and anyone who wanted a say, were involved in the outline proposals that were ratified by the HOC's.
The idea of the allowances was to make the events inclusive for all sussex shooters, juniors included.
There are two distinct trophies. One for adults, which Andy won last season and one for juniors, which was earned by Craig. Therefore I fail to see your problem in that respect. If anyone is at a disadvantage, it's the other juniors and they don't seem all that bothered.
If you're as competitive as you say and you want the trophy, earn it, don't look for a scape-goat for your lack of confidence.
On the first meeting outing in the series, Craig is seen as a threat ...... how? The top five shooters got gold. With or without his allowance, that outcome would never have changed. He earned his as a junior and nothing else.
Craig is an enigma. A junior who can shoot as well as an adult ... why?
Practice! ...... every day, outdoors and you want to knock him because he out-shot you. Consider youself lucky he's still a junior.
Sorry, all this nonsense is a fantasy. If you'd bothered to go through the proper channels, instead of running off like some self-appointed maverick, you'd know the full SP and realise just how ridiculously wrong this all is.
I listened on the periphery, when the matter was explained to Derek, but you haven't give him a chance to put you in the picture, otherwise you wouldn't be on this erroneous campaign.
Your credibilty after this is overdrawn. If you bother to read Jack's post, the juniors aren't all that impressed either.
Do what you're best at and coach & shoot. The series has got this far through the efforts of those who've made it what it is and to publicly question their expertise is a very poor show indeed.
Hopefully this is the hiccup for this series and we can all get on with enjoying the rest.

Ben, if you shot like you posted you would be a world contender yourself....

Oh i'm a world contender all right just damned if i know in what (but my mum says i'm cool).

I should shoot with a more serious (& with more concentration) attitude but i don't like myself when i'm serious as i tend to get more 'aggressive'. Every time i go to a shoot, i plan on being more serious but i end up enjoying myself and i end up more relaxed.

We'll soon sort that out!
Have you ever looked at your stance...whether proner or kneeling...and your standing shots are terrible, just give it all up, it's hopeless!

Either that or enjoy yourself!...I know what i am gonna do!!

I think we should draw a line under this subject and leave it to the team captains to sort out. we are playing by the same rules as last year. Craig could not give a monkeys if he came 1st or last he is there for the enjoyment and the laughs that we have, he considers himself part of the Buxted team. The way it is going you seem to want to take that away from him. If Scott was still a junior he would fight his corner and want to beat you kids ( sorry adults ) every week. You need the four points for the juniors especially as most are four foot nothing and just starting, and with that extra encouragement they improve week on week. I hope this matter can be resolved as soon as possible, so we can all start to enjoy it again. It better to have laughed and lost , than to win and be miserable. My wife has read all the posts and cannot believe her baby has caused such a ruckus. BUT be prepared there is one more she is 11 years and has serious attitude her name is Chelsie JUNIOR you have been warned. Now lets have a good Easter the ones going to the worlds and the ones going to Horsham
