 Hi Folks  in answer to Stuarts and Les's posts  
               I do a lot of kilometers chasing the fly  thats for sure  but i also shoot short range bench rest
           and travel long distances while competing   -- i shot the Super shoot at Little River this year  --
        the drive to a shoot can be a real pain - when the weather is bad  or the roads are being worked on  
       but all that seems to be outweighed  when you shoot a good score or tight group
         i enjoy competing against the best shooters in Australia  
           and the only way you can do this is to travel  
        What ever the format for the SOTY is in 2012  does not realy matter to me  i will still go to as many
        shoots as i can get to  
          all i want to see is more shooters try to do the same thing  
         now that SSAA has control of the Fly  there is no reason it can't grow to be as big as normal bench rest
           and if that means we have to shoot light gun one day and heavy gun on the next  -- so be it  --
          the more shooters the better for our sport
