I do have to side with Andy (unusually ) on Facebook, some of us don't use it, I personally will not use any of the many social media unless they are closely moderated, and I definitely do not regard myself as a Luddite or someone who continues to use papyrus or wax tablets...funny though

Marvelous mornings entertainment wandering around the beautiful English countryside with the South African mafia

To my new bru, even boets, what a bitter koud morning that was, as usual I was a babbelbekki, started off looking like a fundi and proper kief, ended up like a dwankie and proper gatvol, strings of bilksem, donnerse....got me all dikbek

Still great company and plenty of giggles

Thanks Hawkies, it was obvious a lot of work had gone into setting that course...not sure why some were pulled? Its Sunday morning fun time not the World Championship

Some of them scores look like typos how many

I'll take the blame for that Lol. I cannot understand what happened 'cos we measured everything at least twice with the tape measure. However, one target was 6 inches too short and the other one was nearly 6 yards too long! It was quite proper for people to question both targets after the event; and quite correct that the invigilator pulled both targets, as both clearly breached the rules. No doubt about that! As chairman (and I think I may even have had a hand on the tape measure as well) I take full responsibility and can only apologise to everyone who attended. We tried really hard to set a completely new course, with some new ideas set to a 'national standard', and I personally feel rather embarrassed by it all. There are no excuses. however. We'll just have to do better in the future.

I still think it was a good day though and I do hope that most who attended would agree. Feedback on the course (which I always try and seek) was otherwise very good and, as you say, with just two or three of us setting the course over a matter of 3 or 4 days, it is a lot of hard work. Just a shame it wasn't quite as 'perfect' as we would have hoped. I am grateful to those who pointed out the errors' and for their patience, approach and understanding. I am also grateful to those who had to calculate the scores twice, to whom I also offer a sincere apology.

Sincerely.

I must thank the course setters for a fabulous course despite the hickups I heard lots of positive comments. And thank you to the shs team for helping me out by starting me down the bottom end. No pun intended. Despite seriously struggling physically I had a great day with the support of sedger and toy story. I was told to give it a miss but I love spending my weekends with you folk too much to stay away. So thanks for the great company and banter.

Absolutely no need to apologise to me mate, I thought it was an excellent course....the only perfect course is the course that one day I will clear

....6 inches...come on, get a grip........(that's not me reaping scorn on the anal individual who called that one, its what I just said to the other half ).

A piece of advice to those who shoot HFT every week and wonder why their scores are not improving, get out there and help set the courses

[bad shot bob]

Supper day out cracking corce didn't notice any defects with it I just shoot the target and when I miss I say bum or blast.

Phil please don't beat yourself up over this. Targets are often pulled during the course of a season at Nationals etc. one was even pulled at the Worlds a couple of years back. Remember one year the bulk of a course having to be rebuilt after the first session was a few shots in as hardly anything was compliant. We are in the SiHFT use to no targets being pulled for not being right as once the course is vetted no targets can be removed and must be shot as seen regardless of compliance. It isn't the same everywhere. Overall the course was very good with some excellent target placements. It was also obvious to me that a lot of hard work had been put in to other things as well. So well done to you and the other Phil.

Andy.

without even looking at the scores, i can guess from this happy post, that you broke that '50' barrier...

6" out is legal in my book! PJ, you worry too much, always a good shoot at Horsham!!

Lewis!!!! what a great score my friend, certainly deserve it xxx
