Well this cerainly kicked a right little thread off, i agree with every thing pretty much i shoot factory to dust the 'crowie' off and to shoot another class lets face it if we are at Wagga and enjoying the company why the hell not shoot every thing you can. In fact here is an offer i will load the crowie for the match and will swap it with someone else on the line with a comparative rifle and scope for the factory class if they want but it has to be shot with the Bipod and a rear sand bag. Like Rod said anytime i can throw some lead down range i take it. Anthony and i take the piss out of each other and have a blast at three hundred.

There are lots of things you can do to even the field for the new shooters such as if you have won a 300 factory class you start at - 20 points, second -10, third -5 that way the newbie gets a headstart from the outset which makes everyone try harder. Golf does it with success.

I am totally supportive of Pete's comments about helping new shooters we all need to do that, I built a rifle at my own cost for newbies to use and it was used by regular shooters more so than anyone else i did this against lots of comments from regular shooters infact one said you are mad no one will use it but i did it anyway another said it didn't shoot but i got in the dirty dozen.

We could have a trophy for the top novice on the day first time fly shooter !!! there are lots of ideas and all worth a little more thought!!!!

cheers to all
