The Worlds course

[Kingplinker]

Hi all

Firstly I wasn't at the comp sadly but I know a lot of you went and thoroughly enjoyed yourselves .... you lucky buggers

Anyway just wondered what you thought of the course , was it easy - difficult - same as one of your home club comps ? Just out of interest really .

POLL ON THE WAY

[scutter]

The thing to remember about Kelmarsh is it is not an HFT club so the course setters did not have a lot to work with.

The two separate courses also had to cater for the top end shooter as well as the average club shooter and as such a fantastic job was done.

If you look at the scores there was only 1 60 on each and that was the World Champion.

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 ). Ha ha. Atb: G.

That is a good idea, and as a thread, will sit nicely in the general section too (post a link to it here as well though Dave, so you can make sure you get all the converted to tick the right box as well ). Atb: G.

Sorry Gareth .. don't agree. Most people do their chatting/discussing in the main section. Something as big as the World's HFT deserves as much space on the main section as people want to give it. A lot of people may not even look at the other section and will miss threads.

HFT is a vast part of this site and by the same rules you may as well say we are going to have a different section for people who want to discuss a problem with their CO2 gun because most people on here don't shoot CO2. Same with all other minority threads.

Up to the Mods as always though. Just my opinion.

What, at first sight appeared easy, turned out to be two hard courses. This must be true, or there would have been more 59 & 60 scores. Most competitions are held at clubs where many people have shot before and have some idea of the limits of the course and may remember reference points etc, Kelmarsh was new to everyone, I found 'The Lake' especially difficult to range, thought 'The Woods' easier, but scored the same (low score) on both.

I find it hard to answer this question because i thought the course was easy, however, if it was easy, how come i didn't clear it and only the world champion did

I have to agree with boz, i would say the vast majority of 'regular' posters do hft or were probably at Kelmarsh, we are experiencing 'Worlds fever' at the moment but like any other subject it will slow down.
Hft is booming at the moment and by pushing threads in a dark corner, which is where i consider this section to be, will just start to kill the boom, a poor decision IMO but as always the decision has to be accepted and respected,

Got to say I'm with Cliff and Boz on this one as well, bearing in mind the part I have bolded up.

Hi Cliff, I know it may feel like that to you as you are completely absorbed by HFT, which I fully understand, but you are quite wrong I am afraid (unless you were referring to posters in this section only, as then you would be spot on).

For the record, the collectors section gets more hits than anything HFT related, as indeed does the FAC section. I will address all the above comments for you this evening however, as am off line in a moment until gone 8pm.

Despite what some of you may think though, mods are here to help. Lets now let this thread return to Dave's (Kingplinker's) original topic of how hard the worlds course was then, and speak later . Atb: G.

Gareth, nice to see that I'm not alone in the views I expressed in my PM to you.

[never too old]

Every course is hard for me but i can now tell everyone i am 149th in the world

[Gareth W-B]

Gareth, nice to see that I'm not alone in the views I expressed in my PM to you.

No, but three against the many complaints received -- including six from recognised and respected H-FT shooters I may ad -- don't stack. Please see my post as above. As stated, I will return to this later. Atb: G.

Gareth, nice to see that I'm not alone in the views I expressed in my PM to you.

Add me to the list too on that subject.

Now to the original question.

I put easy, but that's because I shoot at Shepreth where Mark Andrews seems to take particular pride in setting hard courses and its rare to get recoiling scores to the level I managed at Kelmarsh

BTW don't think I'm complaining about Mark's hard coiurses, far from it, I heartily thank Mark Andrews for raising the level of my shooting at Shepreth

Cheers
