Hi Dave
Proposed rules look good.
I thought I would chip in a funny story about my Spotter and how helped me NOT.
My son Scott was just 8 years old and I took him along to the range for a Fly shoot. At first he was interested in what was happening and I was pleased to have my son at the range, great father son thing!
Around the start of the 3 target my son found the Johnson baby powered I have left on the bench, he squeezed it and then started to bang it on the side of the concrete bench. I was on a great condition and had got off 3 great shots all the while the baby power is flying everywhere, it was all over the bench, the rifle and scope and even up my nose!
I tried to stop him by yelling quietly but he thought it was great fun and just kept doing it, I ended up with baby powder over every piece of gear on the bench but I did manage to finish card with one of the best group I have ever shot.
It something I will never forget,
All the best
Dave Dundas
