Cheats

[Weevie]

I can see both points. However, if I was a junior competing against the coached lad without the benefit of my own coaching I suspect I'd be pretty annoyed. There's a time and place for coaching and encouragement. I don't believe that full blown competition is one of them.

Exactly. I wouldn't mind if this Dad had been willing to give advice to all and sundry but it was all whispered stuff.

It was the lack of respect for the spirit of HFT that got to me. It's meant to be a test of skill that involves steady and smooth shooting, wind estimation and rangefinding. The later two skills are meant to be the shooter's not his Dad's.

It won't be, not at Kibworth.

and Yep!
