hi guys i think that there are some very good points all round, personally i think that every match that is registered properly should be a SOTY match i don't agree with more points for bigger shoots because shooters will save up to go to them and not the smaller ones.

I think that 5 SOTY shoots to count would not only encourage but it would be hard to achieve as well unless you travelled. Jugsy has said a minimum of four and that would be the minimum.

John Mcquires passion is not only to shoot SOTY matches he does it for the swatting of flies and loves it, this sport is about fun and mate ship and there is no reason this won't become even stronger as the sport grows, some great contributions from pete, stuart, anthony and jugsy perhaps  some of the other shooters in sport can contribute to the forum and put up their views.

The fact that Stuart is working on Perth and i am trying to encourage SA is great for the sport lets keep in mind places that are so remote that it is hard to get may never field minimum numbers then what happens there we loose them. Lets not loose sight of keeping what we already have just make it within the rules eg registered matches and find a way that keeps everyone in the SOTY contention.

If it is only one match from each SOTY match to count if a shooter travels to every match to either better his/her score to to keep someone else from getting a  win then power to them i say.

In the past months since this forum has been running we have covered some magnificent ground in relation to fly shooting and people are really starting to use it for what it is for and that is to help others out and keep the sport focused and moving forward....

best wishes Les
