Dear Fellow Flyshooter,
I wish to state outright that YOU are a poor excuse for a human being. If you have an opinion, which you obviously do then at least be man enough to stand behind it.
Now as to your post Les has won LG SOTY 2 years running, HG SOTY this year, set several national records including the high score of 283 which was simply amazing all under the existing rules. I think that suggests that he does not need to adjust the rules to his own advantage and how you came to such a deluded conclusion is a mystery to me.
What on earth has money got to do with anything you can build a very cheap rifle that will win if you can drive it, you cannot however win in this sport simply by spending money.
Yes you can organsie TO SHARE A BENCH that does not mean you get to hand pick a particular bench your comment is pointless.
As to Rule 10 it seems you are overly concerned about shooters with more money than you having an advantage, that you may not be able to select a bench(something you would only want to do for a perceived advantage) neither of these things in your post suggest that you are interested in having FUN rather that you want to win. So by your own standards you are disqualified.
It doesnt matter if you enter the same LG in both classes (although those with more money wil be able to afford the extra ammo and entry fee) ... does that constitute an advantage to the wealthy????
Now to your last gem ... posts and attitudes like yours are far more likely to scare new shooters away.
Les is building a full custom rifle people can shoot for the cost of ammo, running a website to promote the sport, seeking sponsors for events and spending his hard earned to try and grow the sport. He has posted here information on wind reading and other things to pass knowledge on to others ... what have you done?????????
Please do the sport a favour and go do something else or conversely post under your name with a picture and make a worthwhile contribution to the growth of Fly shooting.
If you dont like this post you can speak to me about it at any match I attend you will know me by my picture and my name.
