I don't think the bag rules (Rule 5 on the Fly Target) should change at all.
I think the rules up for discussion are more generally match procedures, organisational issues, things to do with records, registered ranges, how official matches are run etc. I don't think generally the 10 rules always on the target are up for change. If so that will mean WW3 probably
If people want to shoot adjustable rear rests like they do in 1,000 yard Benchrest around the world that is fine for 1,000 yard benchrest but the Fly Shoot is the Fly Shoot. That rule has served well for more 20 years and should stay in my opinion.
I also note Tony Z comments that the "Fly" has become more a "nostalga event".
Really? I am sure that makes everyone involved in the Fly around Australia feel impressed towards some of our Townsville colleagues.
Les Fraser is doing a fine job as website owner and forum operator. He is putting his money and time to promote an event he is unselfishly passionate about. But he does have some rules for his forum. I like his rules. They are that contributors must sign in and post under their real name and have a picture of themselves. This is very different to what occurs on other forums thankfully.
The majority of people involved here do that but I notice some of our friends from up north don't seem to like following these rules either. Tony Z and Just Jeff here for example.
How about everyone shows some respect and follows these forum rules which Les has?
