Well I was joking about the zed ring, i did not think it would touch a nerve !!
You are right there is no need yet and lets not distract from the great shooting we have seen lately ...

As you noted Graham - conditions must have been extremely benign!
Obviously a range for proving very accurate gear!

It was a joke about 10 rings too!
Nothing wrong with a little humour eh?

The hallways of internet forums are paved with eggshells.

Hey sorry ! I have a big mouth or fingers in my case ! I need to keep my mouth shut at the respect of our shooting fraternity! You know I luvs ya all and the people in this sport is why I compete! .
I think looking at those scores last night made me frustrated as we just don't get conditions like that here to try out our gear and technique ! Bundy was the easiest I shot all year and it was still tricky!
So I'm very sorry for my rant ! Very unsportsmanlike like!
Have good day and see ya at the Nats!
Regards Graham.

I agree with you Mike, targets do not need to be altered in any way.........UNTIL there are regular shoot-offs required to determine a winner! I haven't seen this yet. This is really an administration thing anyway, shoot-offs are time consuming & targets would need to be adjusted when that becomes a problem. There is nothing wrong with perfect scores, unless they become the norm & not a possibility. My opinion for what it's worth.
This approach always seems to come up when perfect scores are shot, remember one important thing, these shooters are GOOD & will still win no matter what target is shot at & the rest will still be where they are, down the list, by the way I have seen these shooters fail too (not often), what would we do then? Make the targets bigger?
Another thing to remember is that target shooting is a demanding sport & you only get out of it what you put in, hard work puts you in the winners circle, not target size! So I humbly suggest that we should not try to fix what's not broken! Lets save that until it is broken.
Congratulations to Ben, & Rod, great shooting Commiserations Matt!

Bloody Brilliant shooting

Great to see the NSW boys sharpening the scores in time for the Teams event in 2 months time.

We now know who to look out for

Cheers, and keep up the good work.
