I shot at Batemans Bay yesturday and have to say i am still in shock with what a seen. Les and Anthony lifted the bar to unthought of heights, were the conditions good...yes but there was still alot of vertical due to the conditions. I think what it came down to was the consistancy they both had throughout the day and hard work put in weeks before in prep.

Results aside i cannot put into words the feeling i had when i left batemans bay yesturday. I have never been involved in a sport where everyone gets along and has a great time ALL day. I had Les,Dave P and Anthony give me advice which has cost them years of time and money to learn and i walked away more educated and with a burning desire to come back.

In my opinion the atmosphere, generosity and plain old mateship is what makes Fly shooting something to behold. To those who have pondered the idea of turning up and having a go but have held off as they dont know anyone or are afraid they dont have the gear or skill the have fun, trust me with the guys that are involved you will never be short on someone willing to help.

Thanks to everyone for a great day and particularly Les, Dave and Anthony for the priceless info and laughs, i wait anxiously for the next shoot to catch up with you all again.

Regards,

Deane
