CNSCA Nationals

Henry, you claim to be such an ambassador and gentleman for the sport and yet your last two posts just show that you lack the distinction for both. You feel the need to criticize my efforts for supporting and helping an event that you claim as your own. Your trophies, your guns, your match experience, or claimed credentials don't impress me, and certainly don't hold much water in my books after seeing how you act on a public forum.

Best of luck with your health issues and at the Great Eastern Lobster.

Like I said. Legend in his own mind.

He is right about one thing however. BS does walk. That's why he walked away from the shoot at Galt.
 
Probably time for the "Old Gun" to wade in on this one.
You would probably recognize the Young Gun by his sunburn. He is one of the people who stood out in the heat to make sure the guests who were shooting at our club could enjoy their sport.
His reward was simply the companionship of fellow shooters.
Nice that you are doing your best to stifle the enthusiasim of the next generation by your self aggrandization Henry.
Good for you.
Hope you magazine article turns out well. I'm sure Clayshooting USA will be thrilled with your attitude. I have taken the liberty of providing them with a link to this thread as well as my personal comments.
In case you hadn't figgered it out ( and sometimes ego-centrics do need a little help) the Young Gun is my son.
He has been raised in a "shooting household". and has been taught proper respect for fellow shooters and the volunteers who make our sport possible. Without the volunteers, there would be no shoots.
Drop down to Galt any time, and Young Gun and I would gladly make time to show some genuine hospitality as well as giving a free lesson on how to treat "the help" with dignity and respect.
If you can wait till Nov, I am sure that our friend Claybuster would be thrilled to join us.

Young Gun... my son.
Worry not about the vocal ignoramus. Remember.... The wind makes the most noise when it blows over an empty bottle.

Ah, now the parts come together for me. I know the young gun and his father. It has been my privilege to shoot with both of them and they are two great shooters and fine men. And that is far better than any collection of second-rate trophies some blowhard might have in his office.

Henry, this little story of how you treated this young man will get told far and wide. Count on it. And BTW, in the unlikely event you summon up the courage to show your face at Galt or a couple of other Ontario clubs we'll see just how your bluster holds up.
 
Hi Henry

It is one thing to attend shoots and another to place consistently. When looking at your NSCA average for the last 10 years your average adds up to maybe 70%. At most shoots 70% won't win too many HOA. Henry I also thought that you were a great ambassador for Canada but you just proved me the opposite.

Hopefully in the future you will learn to respect less experienced shooters and appreciate the work of volunteers who help run a shoot. Without them, it would be hard to put together a shoot. Also most people I have ever shot with are very honest and don't interfere with the ref.

Sincerely yours

I feel kind of bad reading the posts here. Certainly a mistake was made and something wrong was done. But there is a big difference between pointing that out and jumping on someone. I don't believe any good comes from that. Point out an error...sure, necessary, maybe even useful...say you don't agree with something...of course, we have that right and it is important to do it, but lecture them...probably a waste of time...calling them down or calling them names is wrong, unproductive and a duplication of the ill considered error that occurred in the first place. It always pays to leave the other guy some room...always. It is also true that no one really knows what is happening to another person. If you don't leave him or her some room and with some potential to change or own up you may be instrumental in adding to the grief in the world. Sorry, but I come here to talk shooting and you guys have been good and helpful to me for years now. But I think you are screwing up. My $0.02 worth.
 
Sounds like a "time out" is necessary for a few people;- maybe some should even go to their room and be grounded for a week or two.

I was only checking this thread to see scores at the Nationals and that is about the only thing I don't see.

All these posts make me glad we are out of the "mainstream" of clay shooting hidden away in the SE corner of BC. Our club held its Bugaboo Blast shoot last weekend. Although we only had 30 shooters on Sat and 32 on Sun, the targets were great, the prizes were great, the food was great and everyone had a lot of fun. Isn't that what the sport is all about or am I missing something??
 
Some pretty impressive scores on that list.

Congratulations to the shooters that won, good job to those that competed, and to those that participated, I hope you had fun.

I hope the volunteers were well looked after and had fun. I look forward to seeing you all in Alberta next year.


And to Shaun, WOW What a sweep!!

I just got off the phone with a couple of guys that were there. Apparently you "easterners" didn't turn off the heat!!!.

Humidex of 40+++ makes it tough to see targets when the sweat is running in your eyes.

Thanks again for all the hard work done by Bob and the Galt Sportsman's Club. W
Wish I could have been there.
