well said Dave
i know over here in WA its getting more competitive and bigger but we are still learning as its only been going for about 5yrs now give or take
when i 1st started it was all hunting rifles with not a flag in sight and if you scored 100 you won.. now you need to be on the ball as there be a number of shooters who could take it out and 1 bad round will hurt you
yes we have lost some shooters as they had given up because they couldn’t win but the guys left have improved their shooting big time and some have even spent the money to get better equipment which has also helped
but these days everyone seems to have money problems or are just time poor to be able to make it to all the shoots
i for one are trying, as with other to get more people into fly over here, we have a few F class shooter that turn up at times but they can only do it when they are not shooting F class and they love it .
but i must say the best things i ever did (besides getting a 6BRX built haha) was coming over east for the nationals in Canberra and Little River, seeing how you guys ran them and the standard of competition is unreal and i have been using what i have learnt to make ours better
yes not everyone is going to get along and some people will clash with ideas and what should be done but that is what happenes in every sport,
lets all keep working together to make this sport great
also looking forward to the US vs Aussies to haha
