Who gives a **** if someone wants to artificially inflate their own classification? It's their loss.
I give a ****. A disproportionate self image is a great hindrance to developing a good well rounded shooter. I want to see good, well rounded shooters, thats why I care. I want to see everyone put emphasis on the competition, and the match, not the classifications. If I want to look at roosters, Ill look in my chicken coop.
They can be the lowest GM instead of high A class at a major match. Having the GM card might help with sponsors if you're into that, and it might get you some fanboys at your local club. hose fanboys are often new shooters, I want them to get better and worry about practicing and getting instruction, , not worry about buying a boomershooter jersey asap.
First off, it's a club match which means it's pretty much just a practice match for serious competitors. wrong wrong wrong. A club match is a match. period. we have new shooters and spectators. Which is the best way to present our sport to the public or potential new shooters?
I want to see the utmost display of good sportsmanship and honor. Honor honor honor. It cant be dead. Some of you guys need to watch some British WWII movies. The Nazi's had more respect for some institutions than some of our community.
