If the course is good word will spread among the FITA field posse and it will get a good reputation so thats maybe one for next year.
Except..........."The people in charge" have decided that next years teams will be decided on the total of the three highest scores which means no weight will be thrown in favour of who beat who on which course and if the course is good(hard/challenging/lots of slope etc) it will almost become one to be avoided?????????????
Stupid I know!
When I got on the team, I was advised to go to all the hardest courses and not worry too much about scores and it worked. Currently the best course in this country for FITA field is probably Kendal but that suffers a low turnout due to it always clashing with the Lileshall Fita star in May. BUT it gives you the experience so that you will rarely meet anything that is an unknown.
And a final point.
Er, a huge majority of the Fita field shooters in this country are southerners so they dont feel like travelling. Look at how many shoots are down south, Woodstock,Raven, Crawley etc, all the shoots in Ssouth Wales, Pentref, Dinefwr, Carmarthen etc. They just dont need to come north to do a lot of shooting whereas I have HAD to travel the length and breadth of the land.  |
