Fair do's, Codnor club is a long way south for many of you NEFTA guys, and a long journey only to have to wait a few hours to get to shoot could be seen to be quite annoying.
Now I have to admit I fully agree with him, I was only there for the sake of my own practice and was grateful to be allowed to shoot, had a request been made to shoot later I would not have had a problem, less easy going folk than myself would perhaps have took a different view, especially when his little chant came out, ( only a spoken chant, not shouted, but enough for those with in a few places in the queue to hear.) Everyone is entiltled to their opinion and that was his.
On the other side of the fence, everyone was as friendly as I have ever found since starting shooting, I have often commented to folk on how accomadating the shooting community is to newcomers and the speed with which they volunteer help and advice, even on occasion offering a spare gun to shoot with.
