IT's not a question,i just wouldn't go around claiming a clear round when i only knocked down 29 targets.
That's right, and the question is?

WRONG...I was thinking about Cheryl cole!!
I do agree with you though, a clear round it is!...no mistake, Jealousy is a terrible thing!...I personally wanted to slap Mark!!

One target was pulled and as I set it take all responsibility.
Judging by the first round splat marks it seemed a good portion flattened it so it wasn't that hard for a knowledgeable shooter to know the range and adjust accordingly and kill it.
29 targets knocked over and two points from a pull is still a clear.

I didn't see him all day but maybe that was because I wasn't near the burger van much?
Boy that man can eat!!

I think you're being a little hard on yourself there Steve. You were one of a group of people who finalised the course and a few more checked the course over.
This was the first external comp that many of us had been involved in. I think 1 pulled target and 4 stoppages was a good result.

You know what, I was going to go in to some rant about how many UKAHFT clears hve been awarded on courses where targets were pulled (but to be truthfull I don't know or really give a #### the asterix should read ???? why someone who wasn't even there can be bothered to post is beyond me, everyone there as far as I am aware considers it a clear. Well done Mark and Spencer.

Sorry Dave but that is uncalled for. I have known Mark for a few years and I have never known him to cheat.
Are you actually saying that he had a target pulled so he could get his clear?
From what I have heard the kneeling target was illegal and as such it was pulled. The target was at maximum range and as such was shot at 35yds; this is because it was a UK spec course. Why would anyone put there 40 yard marker in a kill that can only be 35yards? You would put your 35 and 30 yard marker in the kill.

RULE 7
Abandon hope, should you come here,
Rule number 7 is very clear,
Should you wish to bitch and moan,
Burger arf and stay at home.
arf!
FOR THE RECORD...
Soon after the first session had started, I was walking the course, checking things were OK as I approached peg 14 Steve Light and his shooting partner were at the peg and Steve said he thought it was a bit long, his partner agreed and mentioned that he thought another target was also dodgey.
I went to check the distance of peg 14 and look at the other target. The distance to the target on peg 14 was 40yds and thus illegal for a kneeling/standing shot.
I went and found Mark as I was unsure how to pull the target.
Other than telling me to chuck the string over the firing line, remove the peg from the ground and tell the remaining shooters the peg had been pulled. He had no input/influence to the target being pulled.
I doubt the truth will ease your feelings or change your opinion of what constitutes a clear but hey ho we are individuals.
Happy shooting.

It' simple
There were 29 legal targets, Mark shot and killed the 29 legal targets. That is a clear.
If it was a case that Mark had shot a legal target and missed, and then that target was later pulled because of a defect i would say you had a point Dave. But this is not the case.
