Firstly thanks to all for the good wishes about the winning of the shooter of the year. I would like to thank people who have assisted me in getting into this sport.

Firstly Dave Purcell thanks for the reloading tips, the long chats in the shed and keeping me on track and grounded when i start to drift off on a tangent. Your advice and support has gone along way in helping me in the sport and i am sure flyshooters in the future will benefit on the forum for your input.

Pete Vanmuers for the support, continued pressure of providing a competitor that puts everything into the sport of fly shooting as you can. I value this type of competition because you are always pushing for the win and keeping everyone honest.

Stuart Elliot for the assistance with learning about bench rest shooting, he gave me some DVD's to watch and learn from which have been invaluable in the learning process.

Jugsy for the mateship and the support with the website and keeping the SOTY up to date. I even slipped up and rang him in Holland he didn't even hang up on me, just answered the question and helped out.

Shane Clancy for turning the second hand Stolle 6BR into the Soty winning 6x47L great workmanship indeed.

And i would like to send an appreciation to ALL FLYSHOOTERS who are growing in numbers and moving forward in a positive direction.

This sport is growing all the time and i hope that next season will be even bigger and i will do what ever i can to promote the sport positively.

I appreciate that over many years some folks have become distant with each other and opinions and perceptions are thier own. I will remain friends with everyone and will do my best to help out where ever i can.

Hopefully this site will gain your trust and support that it will remain in the manner it is intended and that is to promote the sport positively and help it to grow. As many shooting sports or dying in numbers flyshooting is increasing every year and with positive people like Anthony Hall, the Trotter boys, the guys from Canberra that this sport has a positive future for many years to come.

Good shooting to you all and thankyou very much for your support.

Best wishes Les
shooting well is more a mental control of your thoughts than just pulling the trigger........
