Sussex Interclub 2009 - Round 1 Results

[Steve L]

My 2 cents worth...


Yesterday was the most fun I have had at a HFT event

Twice I had to stop what I was doing and wipe away tears and recompose myself before attempting to hit a blurry target.

I know Charles pushed his Tena lady all the way yesterday as he was giggling like an eight year old with me

Great shoot, great course, great company, great burgers! Thanks Aunty and all you Oakies!

75 people there I beleive?

Real shame we get the few complete to$$ers who have to spoil it somehow, you really need to get a life, another hobby or a job and as the Grannie on Catherine Taite says;







FLICKIN CHILL OUT!!!!



And for the tw@t that thinks if shooter A allowed 1 milldot, shooter B should also allow 1 milldot 3 minutes later you realy need to take your head out of your ar$e and try sailing on a sunday morning..

Anyhow, as I said, just my 2 worthless cents ..

That better not be aimed at me or we will be having some words Matthew

The current system is flawed, anyone & his dog can see that.

wow guys ive just been catching up on all this,
i thought i was watching some awful tv movie
theres lots of tension instead of suspense.
i hope none of this spiolt anyones day at the time!

[Steve L]

I'd like to think so Cliff but i do feel it was aimed towards me...


Right.
I'm sorry everyone that i speak my mind, i'm sorry that i'm competitive as well.
The current scoring system will not work, it can't.
How can it when someone who shoots as well or better than me gets 4 points added to their end score, junior or not.
It just seems like the comp is a waste of time to do if you're competing, & come on, since we've added badges & trophies it is a real comp now, some of us like to take it seriously you know .
I have nothing against Buxted, it's juniors or the other juniors doing well, it's great to see the scores they are putting in, it really is (& i go round with one remember) , i just feel it's unfair with the current system, if i score 58 on a bloody hard course & 'junior' scores 55 i'm beaten into 2nd, hows that fair ?
This is the point i am making & it also makes a mockery/shambles of the tables IMO.

Again sorry & i'll go get a life now shall i .....

When I start worrying about tables and whos beaten who, then I'll know it's already too late to chuck it in

You only use them as a measure of how efficiently you are cheating Charles!

Dead right Clifton old chap, and the next time I cheat, you can be darn sure it'll be for my benefit and not to boost Matts score, just realised that I've been doing it all wrong

[jon f]

i worry about my daughters times tables more
i like competing i like the sport
i like the fun of the shoot

[Enthusiast]

Righty ho chaps

If anyone has a problem about the way the series is being run I would ask that they contact either Mike Burgess, Mike Byford, Andy Simpson, Derek Watson or myself - preferably directly, rather than in open forum. If we can fix it, we will.

Remember we are purely a bunch of ordinary shooters who happen to be enthusiastic enough about our sport to put a shedload of time and effort into organising and running it. There has been a huge amount of effort put into getting this series going again, it didn't just happen. It is dispiriting at best to see yet another row erupt.

I reiterate, if anyone has a problem, we will discuss it and try and sort it out, we are aware of this issue but we like to do things democratically - which involves talking to each other, and that can take time.

Regards

Richard

Hey lets chill out,
I don't really care if a junior beats me on awarded age points, good luck to him/her, I wish I had started shooting at there age.
Steve, you and everyone else are entitled to your opinion on the rules and how to improve them and you shouldn't be targeted for saying so, as you say you may not be the only one with this view, BUT, there a time and a place.
Time, before the SIHFT series starts.
Place, not where the accomplished junior will read it and think they have done something wrong which they have not.

I think there needs to be a system in place for complaints,Ideas and suggestions (not rule 7 ) to be heard and taken into account in private and not on here. any changes unless for safety issues should be done before the next series starts and all the rules,changes etc be available for all SIHFT shooters to read prior to the first event should they want to.

Only my view,hope to see some of you at the weekend lets give the nothern monkeys a pasting jointly as Sussex shooters and friends

A very good post John.
I would agree, we need something in place to 'log' complaints or ideas...

I'm glad to hear you would, & i apologize for the accusation.
As i say i can't help being competitive, i've spent alot on my kit, i put in the time on the practice, i help out when i can on courses & with advice, i'm a fairly decent shot & i just don't see myself being able to compete in this years series.
