KARRAMOMUS OPM

[Chopper]

I have just had a talk to Heather in regards to FO at Karramomus this saturday , even though its not advertised FO is welcome, is there any one interested ? if so please let me know , if there is enough i will be happy to donate some MONTANA XTREME cleaning products as trophies, 5 or 6 shooters will do it,short notice i know but i will need to know by friday, thanks Chop.

Chop,
I know of two FO shooters who are going but will be shooting FS.
Really, the organization has got to do better than this--try harder.
TOM

[TOM]

Further, I know of another FO shooter who would have gone had FO been on AND his son would have been there shooting FS.
Everybody misses out don't they?
TOM

[Chopper]

Tom, ime not a member of that club,but can make it happen with a phone call, what you say is fair BUT i think the FO shooters should try harder too, Chop.

[TOM]

Chop,
Agreed. Everyone needs to try harder, but first it ( FO ) has to be on the programme.
There seems to be no problem putting C Grade ( TR ) on for less than 5 shooters at most PM's --it's expected there won't be many, but always hoped there will be more.
Treat FO the same -- put it on, cater for 5 or 6, and publicise it well.
With the common target, the excuse that the targets are too expensive no longer applies, and now that FS is competive with FO ( common Target ) could be more FS come across and shoot FO.
This business of " you come and we will put it on " is BS. It should be " we have put it on, now you come "

To be fair to Karramomous, they've never had F-Open as far as I can remember. Being 3-5-600 only, maybe they thought it wouldn't attract many F-Open. I hope you can get a few there this year, but it might also be a good time to talk about the possibilities for next year?

Well this is interesting!

I can assure you all that putting FO on the programme is of little help, we at Lang Lang have always had FO on the programme, but most years the FO shooters have not supported us, only 3 turned up last year.

From this forum I can only assume that now you all know, we will have a huge number of FO shooters at the Lang Lang OPM on 9th October.

The Golburn Valley OPM has catered for Open in the past, probably not for approx. 5 years. I guess they dropped it because of lack of support back then.

I was a little surprised that Open wasn't on the flyer.

Due to the location, I thought there would be a great turn out. However, if history is what the commitee was basing their program on, then fair enough. Clubs need to make it worth their while, for all the effort they put in!

Stawell saw an excellent turnout, with eight of us competing! And quite a high level of competition existed!

I'm going on Saturday, however had set my mind on F Std due to no Open. If there are a few worthy contenders turning up too, then I'll shoot Open.

After all, it's all about the competition, and a great day out!

See you there.

Should'nt be a problem getting the numbers in FO.
There are 6 or so up Bendigo way, a couple at Wangaratta, a couple at Albury ?--that's more than enough to make a competition--if they all turn up. But first the organization has to include it on the programme.
TOM

[Chopper]

I have three from Albury,and maybe two from Wagga,(benchrest shooters) anyone else ? Chop.

[Chopper]

The Wagga boys will be there.

[Chopper]

We now have ELEVEN for sures, Chop.

[VickiMcc]

So does that mean its on for sure. With trophies and badges??
