Hi Anthony and Stuart this is a great thread, and it demonstrates that the SOTY is well sought after by numerous shooters. There are many great points such as three different states and four shoots to count instead of three, Also a bit of history is a great thing to learn i for one didn't really appreciate how long it had been running and where it started.

It is very true we have some wonderful ranges now and there are actually people prepared to hold their hand up to help out. I think that the future of flyshooting is growing every day.

I for one love the whole aspect of the sport, the accuracy, the reloading, wind reading, shooting, helping out with the set up of ranges, scoring, placing targets on the wailing wall just to name a few.

There will always be folks who just want to pay their money and shoot, these guys are valuable to the sport they make up the numbers and pay their entries so competitions get bigger and bigger.

There are a number of shooters in this sport that on any given day can take the honours home with a win, this coming year 2012 i will focus on promoting the sport and getting as much help to organisers as possible.

Anthony, jugsy, Pete VM, Dave G all put in 100% for their respective shoots and PVM works tirelessly at many others, Staurt and Annie work hard for the Brisbane shoots and the more we can help these people the better our result will be.

This site along with the shoots belong to the Flyshooting fraternity and as such we all have a vested interest in keeping it as much fun as possible.

Jugsy who has been managing the SOTY for the past few years does an outstanding job and keeps the records and progress of shooters up to date after every match, we all thankyou for your valuable and continued work with the SOTY.

I would like to see more folks contribute to these threads afterall it is your individual input that is valued most.......

good shooting Les
