    Thumbs up Good luck sussex shooters

    Hi all

    Just wanted to say good luck to all the sussex shooters going to the worlds at the weekend !

    As you all know we have all gained in experience over the past couple of years to the point we are now pretty much spoilt for choice with shooting venues etc - anyway good luck !

    Thanks Dave, but as you know luck has nothing to do with it, preparation is everything, already got two pages of excuses printed out

    Quite right, now what about a Seniors Section, say +8 points?

    Good luck to all and especially the Sussex contingent.

    However, if you don't come back with the prizes and stories to tell; you won't be allowed back across the border.

    Oh and juniors, let the oldies try and win will you? You're starting to get them down.

    I suspect Ryan Martin, Big H or the Hippy from Christchurch plus a couple of others might argue

    But can they win while wearing pink (as Beth can/will) or are they resorting to lucky charms like wearing the same unwashed socks just in case it makes a difference to their chances?

    I dread to think what some shooters are doing to increase their chances; looking at pellets via Magnifying glass, weighing pellets with more than one scale, only filling their dive bottles & rifles with the purest of dry divers quality air that has been blessed by the pope for example.

    Just going for the experience really, plus my wife can visit her family in Coventry.

    Keeping an eye on the weather it keeps changing daily from being nice to wet and windy then back to nice.

    Just hope my knee holds up

    You should know better than to provoke the Sussex juniors ... you could end up staked out on the ground, with them argueing over the best way to crack your eggs.

    (read Gullivers Travels, it'll explain)

    arf!
