Thread: F-Class

Just lobbed on to this thread. Interesting to see that 'ageism' has reared it's head again. I can understand resistance to change, but the only 'constant' in life or any activity is - CHANGE. Having been a 'very amateur hunter' in my youth (66 and counting at present), age has caught up with joints and strength, so target shooting has become 'an aim'. Went to Cheltenham (from Carterton), on Saturday 2 x 500 yard shoots. Should have phoned first, as weather was really CRAP - only just made it back through the Manawatu Gorge before it was closed. Was going to 'pick brains, ask questions, be a nuisance', but rain was so heavy, left without going in. Pity - would have been very instructive. This thread has been helpful, and I concur that every shooting organisation and it's members, have been EXTREMELY welcoming - in Aistralia (28 years) and NZ. Mostly claybird shooting - but the help was always given freely, and helped improve technique and results. F Open is my choice (Ballinger Belt is too stressful - not a 'true competitor' LOL), have received a lot of help from Frank at Masterton. Pity that the Brancepeth range is weather dependent - never mind, shit happens. Looking forward to completing the licensing process and getting started.
