CJN, you FT guys are real sensitive eh ? hahaha Ok, let's clear this up..
I agree with what you said about the person having to complete the puzzle, of course! Guns don't shoot themselves.. The shooter has to be sharp and on his game, his gun is a tool and without his skills the gun is useless BUT the gun does help.
CJN, what other comments have I made? If i offended anybody in other posts i rather clear this S$$T up instead of them thinking i'm some kind of hot head..
The comment you made about my 1st score.. Well i never claimed to be a FT expert.. To be honest with you I didn't even want to shoot that day but since all of you kept telling me to shoot I thought ok what the hell.. Now My rifle is a QB78deluxe which really in all honesty is half decent for what it is but compared to your FT rigs it's a complete and utter joke! haha I had the worst possible pellet selection that day(superpoints) which was the reason i didn't want to compete.. My gun shoots terrible with those pellets, it spirals the pellets BAD!! But still from what i was told I beat mostly everybody else's first time score (which i found hard to believe) who had way more expensive rifles than i had.. So what does that say ??
I'm not putting down FT at all, believe me man if I didn't have any interest in it I would have never came out and shot let alone look like an idiot shooting a cheap POS with the wrong pellets next to high end rifles and experienced guys.. So take that into consideration..
Like i said I totally appreciate what you guys do out there even if it isn't my thing, i'll still come out because hey, it's an excuse to shoot and shoot with other guys even though they might be a little over sensitive..
I think you're all good guys from what i've seen, i'm not trying to insult anyone.. Maybe you misunderstood me or maybe I should have worded my sentences a little more wise haha
Anyways... ya.... Did I forget something?
RVD,
We love to have you come out. Your always welcome. I hope you will learn to love the sport more as you have more time in it. Your scores will only increase, certainly. No need to feel like you have offended the FT shooters. Your not there, yet. You have made equipment comments like above before, and I found it necessary to remind you that equipment can only go so far, and try to be careful how you respond to those who are always ready to lend you a helping hand.
This is not a matter of FT shooters sensitivity, although all your time that you have spent in the above post defending your score seems like sensitivity to me. You didn't say a thing about me personally. I don't particularly find a need to defend Don, but when I see extremely inaccurate comments I do find the need to correct that. At least once. If I find that it is not beneficial to do so with a particular individual, if is pointless to continue.
This is just a matter of you making bold statements before you have the experience to do so accurately. It is always best for a person to listen more than talk, and especially when they have the least experience.
My post makes it clear that equipment is a big part of what makes a winner, but not all.
My post was also clear that your first time score was nothing to be ashamed of. But it is also a reality check for you. By the way, if someone gave you the impression that your score was higher then all the other first time shooters, they were trying to be kind. I assume from your comments, "But still from what i was told I beat mostly everybody else's first time score (which i found hard to believe)who had way more expensive rifles than i had.. So what does that say ??" you are stating that your natural ability exceeds the others? I believe you had a 13 first match. Len had 8 his first match of 2007 I think. Doug had a 15 his first match. Those are the only first match scores that I remember at Port in 2007. I know Windbag, Keyrigger and I all had mid to upper 40's our first match. That really means nothing. One of the top shooters, MAC, started with around a 8 his first match. He is quick to encourage first time shooters, and uses that first score of his to do so.
Please understand we want to see you shoot and have fun. Let's enjoy some good jesting, but always be respectful of the accomplishments of those who have excelled in the sport.

I have to learn to tone down my bad impulse buying habits.. I don't have a money tree in the backyard.. If any of you do please by all means tell me where to get one! 
) If you took Pirellip's rig and shot a match with it at the start of this season, you'd probably do very well. I guarantee you though, by the end of the season you'd be doing better and setting your sights even higher! That's what FT has become for me. I really don't care about the other scores, just how I can 
since you have one of the best FT guns available! I'm confident you will do very well with it, even with faulty targets!
