WOW,

It has been my opinion for the 6-8months that the overall mood and division within the fly community has deteriorated some what, perhaps this has been brewing and has finally festered.

I for one disagree that multi gun should be the overall winner, why do we want to go down a path where deep pockets will dictate who takes home the gold. On what planet does the highest score not win a match, not just in fly shooting.

As far as the lack of transparency with suggestions and motions for future rules it's piss poor form. I for one am tired of the division that exists between certain groups of shooters, not everyone will gets along but there has the be an attempt at least. This is cancerous and if not addressed soon it may be too late for our sport.

As Dave said we are venturing away from the grass roots and I can't see why, personal motives need be nipped in the butt, and I'm sure Big Jim and the other founders of Fly Shooting would be disappointed with what is currently transpiring.
