Sussex Interclub 2009 - Round 1 Results

[Alegazmoz]

tbh i know what ure saying but he deserves the extra points because unlike you turning just 13 he doesn't have the addvantages of an adult. like being a bit stronger and taller ect also being a junior myself i find it difficalt to see a few targets that most adults can see and without junior points it would be unfair because were just not big enough to see it! i belive is craig was older with all its benefits he could have still got a clear round because there where definatly 4 out there i had to drop because i couldn't see the kill....

and besides if u drop junior points that means u have to drop sprniger and 22 points because if an adult scored 57 with a springer and got +3 points than it is still unfair (but thats never being brought up on here now is it...


any way well done craig (i think it was graig)
for clearing the course today u did exelent.

and thanks oakies for a great course

Well he beat me to it.....but same attitude..and he has more to lose!
Well said Jack! ...well shot as well!

It's the first day of the SIHFT season Mike, it's traditional for everyone to complain about everything

I think that just about says it all and puts the relevant post firmly to shame.
"flamed" ....... nobody's that bothered.
Those of us out there with Craig, could only watch with envy as he dropped all those difficult , wind affected targets in the field, with a confidence that was absolutely amazing. He deserves every credit for a truly awe-inspiring performance, accompanied with, as Barry Blackham put it "a really annoying smirk", into the bargain.
Scott Grayson navigated the course on crutches, with his leg in a cast and put in a performance that reinforced his position as SHS junior champion, taking shots standing, that most adults would have shied away from.
Adults under-estimated the potential juniors had and were conceited enough to factor in an allowance at the out-set, consequently we're going to get hammered. The junior allowance wasn't over-egged. Juniors have simply upped their game and there's only one glaringly obvious response to that.
This series is inclusive, successful and is now bigger than any one individual.
Some persistently test boundaries and derive some perverse satisfaction in doing so, under the protection of free speech.
Buxted Rule 7.

" You may not whinge, or whine or moan,
for if you must, then stay at home."

Thankfully, most adult participants still remember how to have fun and are getting better at it with every event in the series.
Suck it up, or do one.
SIHFT roolz innit ....... can I have a junior allowance now?

arf!

I'm all for getting whooped by the juniors believe me, but blimey, you must understand where i'm coming from, when they are scoring as well or better than the adults consistantly ...... maybe we should adopt a system like UKAHFT or SHS, splitting the junior class from adult. If it's just down to paperwork i don't mind giving a hand..... I don't know, but i sure as hell know i'm not the only person who thinks these things, just the only fool that voices them, only to watch as others say nothing... yet again.

I think it's best i try not to get involved anymore.

soooo....

ummm... cant wait for swallows !!

we got some new targets ready for when you lot come

[MojoCrow]

New targets good but, Beth, if you can arrange for the sprinkler system & wind machine to be switched off this time; i'd appreciate it. I think my boots have almost dried out by now.





Bring on the next shoot but with less/no wind, i've had my fill at the 'Oaks.

[mattinlondon]

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 ..

[MojoCrow]

Ah well that's where i was going wrong; reading the wind, allowing 1.5 mil into the wind and seeing the pellet ignoring the wind and going straight as a die to plate it.

I should have paid attention to what the wind ignoring pellets were doing because that happened to me more than once.

That wind was very deceptive like a sultry siren from the deep.

Interesting experience and will it teach me any lessons in time for the next shoot? Stay tuned, same bat time, same bat channel.

LOL i hope the weather will stay nice like it was yesterday @ the oaks !!

I was about to come back with a witty rejoinder to Charles about Matt needing all the help he can get... until I realised it was Matt that accusations of recieving coaching were made at... if anyone needs coaching it's not likely to be the bloke that came 3rd in Southern Hunters

I can only assume it was someone new to SiHFT that complained as Charles and Matt's banter and gamesmanship has entertained through many a wet Sunday morning shoot!

Personally I shot the worst I have done for about 18 months and despite my boy being really ill he shot like a demon and has a huge smile on his face still. I had the best and most fun day out for ages... let's not spoil it by taking ourselves to seriously and focus on the fact it's supposed to be fun.

The wind pixies were having fun with us Ben, one shot I'd aim right and it would drift all the way back across to hit the leftside of the plate, the next shot I'd aim right and it would impact axactly on the crosshair yet the wind at the peg felt the same... evil Mile Oak wind pixies and their warped sense of humour toying with my pellets!

Sorry but the chinese whispers are at work again , that or it clearly went over my head ( doesn't take much ) . Did someone genuinely have a poke at Matt then or was is Charles and his usual brambling

Well shot young Jack you showed exactly how how much you have matured as a shooter yesterday , much more relaxed and taking your time on every peg .... bar one resulting in a well deserved 53 ! lol
I think we both learnt a lot about reading the wind which can only be a good thing , once you start beating me though you can sling yer hook laddie !!!

if someone had a pop at matt " for coaching a youngling ) then who was it ???

If someone is going to be that anal maybe the said person should stay at home or just FLUCK OFF .
