    Dear Oakies

    Please leave the wind pixies to concentrate on the left and right stuff which they are supposed to focus on. When they do the up and down stuff which the distance pixies are supposed to be responsible for, I lose the plot.

    Wind - left and right.

    Distance - up and down.

    Got it Oakies?

    Even the Hobbits have nearly mastered this(floating rats excepted of course)

    Thank you.

    Richard

    So you want a golf course, but 10 instead of 6, of easy medium and hard, WHY? if you are trying to improve why stick to a formulae that is trying to encourage people who are crap(at that point in time) surely it is better to test the best over 30 targets rather than 10 with 20 gimmees.This is SiHFT it isn't a bean bag hug a lot conglomerate it is a series designed to find the best team at shooting UKAHFT spec HFT not a lets see who can knock over the gimmees fest. Best you plan your courses well because come October you will be in for a rules fest.

    a rules fest ? ...look mate nobody wants twenty gimmees on a course but maybe more then just one just to brake the constant kick in the nuts like your last course did , i like a challenge but i also like to enjoy the challenge which funny enough i did in the end but only because i had gone past the point of caring . balance is the key to a great course and at the end of the day there was no balance what so ever at your last course it was just one hard target after another ...... take my hat off to though pulling off a 57 !. im just glad our newer members didnt come that day cause im sure it would of put them off shooting hft again . anyways all the best see ya soon andy ps im sure steve.l will be along regarding your comment on rules and coures at some point tada

    For what its worth, I thought the course was brilliant - very, very clever target placement. True, it was challenging but what else were we expecting? It lived up to expectations, I loved it.

    It is also notable that when we get a clearance (which is after all only by one or two out of 70+ competitors remember, representing about 1.5 - 3% of those who enter) mutterings of "easy course" abound.

    The trick is to have a mixture. I think we've got it about right in the series. All straightforward would be boring, all challenging would be dispiriting.

    And as this is the Oakie thread rather than the Hobbit one, I look forward to improving on my usual mediocre performance which the Oaks normally brings out of me.

    Hurrah!

    Wink Fair HFT course ???

    To all who read this....I joined Buxted in March,it was the first time I ever shot an air rifle ! Since then I have shot the SiHFT,every round except Round 2 (Ford),other commitments i'm afraid.I have had very little practice since then,like most on here I assume,and shot 27 @ MileOak,49 @ Swallows,45 @ Horsham,47 @ Buxted.Enjoying every minute of it all,bloody rain (Swallows lol ),tactics,discipline,banter,everything ! Nothing has put me off,so to be fair to me,I wouldn't know what a hard course was even if it climbed up my leg and bit me on the 'arras lol.I bow to those who really know what they are talking about though,so if some of you think the courses are hard,I must tell you I have not found a hard course yet !! I am still learning,I make silly mistakes still,BUT,time will help me get better,and practice,before someone says that lol,but this is still all very new to me,but,i'm loving every minute like I said.Andy is right though,you will not get better if the courses don't test you,and if you guys who have been shooting this HFT lark for quite some time had courses that didn't test you now and again,then people like me probably would give up after a while,because all the big boys would keep winning ! Where's the fun then ?? I have out shot guys on here,who have been at this a hell of a lot longer than me,all because the course was a little bit 'challenging'....That's my bit said,over to you guys lol....
