timps Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Let me guess, combine shooting and every girls favourite pass time of shopping and give it a catchy little name. Then spam the heck out of a forum to get it known? Or Slow the shooting down, turn the microphone off and make the clays bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think the writers just irked because it doesent consist solely of "american" sports and therefore as an american he's having trouble understanding them. Its only latterly that the olympics has been a televised event - it was going for 50 years before the goggle box was invented. Sports arte not there solely to create a spectator spectacle !

HDAV Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 http://sports.yahoo.... ... --oly.html so, how we can change this? So the issue is..... Shooting -- Seeing targets explode into a puff of purple in skeet shooting is always enjoyable. But the competitors are so quick and the targets are so small that watching the event is a confusing jumble of noises and clouds. Buy a Bigger TV! Get some glasses, perhaps not decide that all olympic shooting disciplines are Shotgun events Simple answer high speed cameras mounted on the guns........No Wheel barrows required OR dancing girls? (The usual american answer to boring as possible sport) PS Archery made it to number 5 on the list! not exactly a stunning spectator sport for those with a "footlong & a big gulp" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I will be honest i thought some of the shooting was very boring to watch until you get near the end, at that point it was alright. The same as bow and arrows, judo and many other sports in the Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16jus Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 the should make it fruit shooting like john bidwell does lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 It is a participation sport not a spectator sport. We don't need skeet from a wheelbarrow or whatever it was either... FWIW I thought the archery was very watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clanchief Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Well I think this should be the latest sport to be added, could even spread into other sports. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWQQUoQHhnw What do you think ?

Poacher Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Weightlifting at 4th "Lift this, you win. Don't lift this, you lose" - I'm surprised most americans can understand that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangeclay Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 No guys, is something that can change "lions" like Ed &co.in little pussycats! It's a" reality check" machine that helps you to find out how "great "you are in fact! Changes attitudes from arrogant to humble and brings people down to Earth from a fauls glory levitation! ... and BTW is not PVC, CMH( keep me humble) material.
