Re: Gas guns can't do what?
I’m sure by now everyone is aware of the scoring snafu that took place so I’m posting this in both threads.
There has been some e-mail buzz generated by this and the event staff is genuinely affected by this. Honestly I can’t blame them and I would not want to be in their shoes. There seems to be a lot of concern for me and to honest, this doesn’t come close to making my top 100 list of bad moments in my life.
I really don’t know what mistakes were made or how they affected the outcome but apparently the notion of not holding future matches at BSF is on the table as a result, and I hope no one makes that mistake. There is nothing even close to Jax that compares and I feel it would be an immeasurable loss to shooters all over the southeast.
BSF didn’t charge much for this match so clearly they’re not in it for the money and there’s a lot to be said for doing something “for the love of the game” and truth be told that’s the only reason I do this. I don’t need trophies, prizes, or fame. Just give me some ammo and something to shoot at and you’ll likely find me lying in a puddle of sweat on a hot August day covered with sand and fire ants. And if you look closely, you’ll likely see me smiling.
For these reasons I’ve decided to forfeit my score and take a zero for the match. This may sound to be an odd choice but someone in that match came in last place and it was likely a newer shooter that represents the future of this sport, and that’s really who matters most here. I personally feel that focusing on making sure that the top dogs gain their rightful spot is the wrong approach.
So with that, last place is officially mine. Just be forewarned ladies…this time I’ve got a whole year to train verses 4 months so I’d suggest you all spend a little less time waxing your man-ginas and spend a little more time practicing.
