    Tad harsh to blame local shooters if national shooters don't turn up

    Not realy Richard. National shooters travel 4 to 5 hours to come to Buxted and have to pay for hotels, local shooters only have to travel 30 minutes.

    I don't think it is necessarily that they don't want to shoot the 'ultimate event' i think they just feel intimidated...

    It's easy for 'Seasoned National shooters' to overlook this but i believe a lot of average shooters wouldn't even think of putting their name down for something so 'high profile'..
    Just my opinion on what could have occurred, that and Fathers day for the 'not so competitive shooter..'

    Doesn't stop it being annoying i agree!

    Richard Mike read Garys post as much as I hate to admit it he has hit the nail on the head. Don't make excuses for preconcieved stereo typical attitudes. We put on a show no one local came so have sex and travel. Both of you fit that mould.

    Lots of Nationals are in far flung places. They get viable numbers people attended from thrir region but nowhere else. Unfortunately we dont go figure.
