I've enjoyed reading this thread,I wasn't going to respond to it,but,what the hay,,the snow's got me cabin fevered so here goes.First,I've only been shooting a year,(59yrs old),You know how hard it is teaching an Ol' dog new tricks,,so naturally a youngster or young lady on the 19 doesn't seem fair to me starting on the 20,,or that older gentleman being a vet or senior vet that's been shooting forever on the 19 either.I have the most respect for women that shoot,,just yesterday an elderly lady in her 80's I believe, broke a 47 out of 50,sure did better than me,and shes back several yards behind me on handicap.But I smile and bear it,and remind everyone,I'm a rare one,,I shoot for fun and enjoy it and if I do good,that's just a plus.As one fella said to me yesrerday..The shame is too many focus on the competition and miss out on the fun.I had to agree 100% with him.I leave the competition with my Bass fishing,One sport for competition is enough for me.
