thebreeze---i will tend to agree with you on your statement. Most of us work pretty hard on preparing yourself for the worlds. Last year I got to shoot 20 shots and go home. This year I got to shoot 40 shots but if you were in a group after 1 Pm on Thursday , you got to shoot in some very heavy rain and some fog near the bottom. Some of the guys started off pretty good but the elements got us all toward the end. The lenses were out ,the umbrella was over us ,the glasses were fogged and we were really wet and cold. The best of us were 15 down going into Saturday morning. I haven't gave much thought for next year, but think I would probally be a damn fool to try it again. Said that last year and 3 weeks before Worlds called and got a room again. Got to be a place that it doesn't rain all the time and be foggy till noon .
