Mungler Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 We should deploy Dennis to get down CPSA HQ and knock them all out. Mind you, it might put him in the brown stuff with his FAO. Mind you, that could be any day in any week ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaun4860 Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 What gave it away? Not really moaning, I give my time and effort because I enjoy it, but most people want to turn up, shoot and go home or to the pub.I suspect the huge majority of CPSA members are there just for the insurance and would prefer cheaper membership rather than subsidising those who want to play the game full time, so expecting BASC members to cough up as well is ridiculous. I will wager that many, many more people have been brought into the sport by straw bale clubs than by the efforts of the CPSA. If we are really "all in it together" and they really want to raise shooting's profile, bring in more youngsters and spread the word about the friendliest sport I have ever been involved in, then perhaps they should take a little more care of their associate club members and get more involved at the grassroots level. The only time we ever heard from the CPSA apart from subs time is when they sent us a bunch of leaflets and ask us to promote membership for them. Im one myself, years ago when I used to be in the CPSA I wanted to switch membership from full to clubman... They told me to leave and rejoin in 12 months I left, never to return....

Mungler Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) Claysporting.com was Dennis' own forum based website Someone once mentioned it to me as Clayspaffing.com and it's stuck ever since if you'll pardon the pun. 'Spaffing' is apparently a euphamism for ejaculating. It was just all too apt because Claysporting was to clay shooting what the Huntinglife is to badger baiting. It was just people endlessly arguing with each other - it was an eye opener to just how political the CPSA was and all who sailed in her.

The idea of a whole forum full of the drivel espoused on this thread and the comedy e-petition one is mindboggling. I take it this wonderful piece of the world wide interweb is defunct?

Lord only knows how many beginners and novices were lost to the sport thanks to that site. Pathetic levels of sniping, willy-waving and ego-massaging. It's worth noting that whilst politics are involved in the CPSA from top-bottom, most "registered shooters" are still just "shooters", who couldn't give a tuppenny **** about politics. They just enjoy their shooting like everybody else, just a little more competitive. Edited October 1, 2012 by paulos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 (edited) The last weeks were funny. The bloke doing the tech got the hump, the bloke who kissed Dennis' bottom for the previous 3 years got the hump, the bloke who baited Dennis from Germany got the hump, the ex-nutty one off here tried a revolution and then worked out you can't 'do revolution' on your own and so got the hump, the one person to get banned ran out of moody accounts to get back on.... and the rest is history It was full of argumentative and angry people with no individual or collective sense of humour.

denniswebb Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Claysporting.com folded because i just got too old , it comes to all of us in the end, you have to focus on what is achievable in your twilight years......I made the England team for the world and Home Internationals this year, i thought i would mosey over to this site for a spin....i used to go on the American sites but got too popular, i thought that on one of my visits over there i might dissapear....This site is a lot safer and there are a few less fruit cakes on here, although reading some of these posts i ain't so sure....I wouldn't be too keen to bring youngsters into this sport as unless there is real change like proposed in the E Petition i recon we have another 10 years left ...... Just look at Phil, he's retired and become a twisted bitter old man. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Dennis, the majority of clay shooters don't care about international disciplines or sub committees and the majority keep out of trouble and get no bother from the police. You're hitting stony ground again. The reference to Phil - which Phil has made it onto your naughty list? I suppose he will be in good company.....

denniswebb Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 The building industry always used to be a pysical type of buisness, for me it was just a follow on from the trawlers , if you fell asleep on the deck, a deckhand was likely to wack you round the head with a cod or whatever came to hand....I had my ear bitten off in a scrap in the docks...So i slotted in quite well in the building industry, If you had a problem with someone sometimes it would get up in a scrap, having a gun licence really kept me out of trouble, i would think twice before getting stuck in.....I am sure there are plenty in shooting that would like to sort me out ......am i wandering off Phil on one of my walter mitty momments, sorry Phil i will try to refrain from that again.

denniswebb Posted October 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 There are many of us in this sport that feel that the International Board has run its course, it was never good idea in the first place, made worse my miss using funding over its early years and everyone turning a blind eye. Of course sporting, Helice all took advantage of the situation but its now time for the board to fully focus on Olympic disciplines, funding will be easier because those that are there will have better relations with the rest of the sport. Other disciplines really don't have a possitive impact on the image of the Olympic Disciplines, its just deflects attention away for the problems that are inherrant in the system. Fitasc and Compak should now get its act together, set up its own mandate and be fully self funded within the CPSA framework, i would make it mandatory or levy all shooters that shoot in the World or European have to either support the selection process or pay a levy to take part in the either of these events. To be able to shoot either of these events you have to come through your national organisations, its in the rules, its only right that shooters should financiaaly support there international Teams this way .
