We seem to be veering towards the novices and children being coached as the problem. I don't want to be coached in the stand during a registered shoot, never have been except by the odd ref as I have stated. Discussion of targets and what I should have been doing is always after I have shot my stand. I think the bigger problem if you are trying to play by the rules is the enormous number of experienced shots who don't take the rules seriously. They are everywhere - can I see a pair even though I have just watched two people shoot that stand, where am I going wrong chaps mid way through a round, the gun jammed - no it didn't you left the sodding safety on you p……..ock!! Sorry getting a little hot under the collar.
Rules is rules, advice before your turn and after your turn in my books is absolutely fine, during your turn a no no.
There are shoots for all levels but I shoot with someone who would soon be bored of shooting little straw balers all the time and he felt it would give me a false sense of security just shooting easier targets or sticking to one or two shoots hence I have from the very beginning shot at extremely challenging places and in some extremely challenging conditions and yes sometimes you think to yourself "I wish I could go somewhere and get a higher score" but that is just fooling yourself. Might as well just get in there and get on with it.
