But with an attitude like that then you will never win but if you put the effort in you can be as good as anyone. All the best with the next competition lads. #Post#: 14685-------------------------------------------------- Re: good friends at the Sporting Home International at Ballyduga n By: semiauto Date: September 15, 2013, 5:04 am --------------------------------------------------------- .22 England is many times the size of NI and have 25 times more shooters than us plus some of their best shots don't even bother goin as it's not a big enough occasion for them, this year they had a World champion and an Olympic gold medal winner and a few professional shooters and coaches on their side, the Home Inters have Always been dominated by England and always will for many reasons, their shooters get a lot of sponsorship from shootin companies and private companies but over here sponsorship is very difficult to get if not impossible believe me, I'm quite lucky as my son has a few sponsors but only until this week none were from over here, one was from UK and the other US, but that sponsorship isn't for money it's for shootin gear and cleaning products, the sponsorship Ian got last week was from Wade Training for cash to help him buy shells for the year and I can tell you we were Very grateful ... #Post#: 14686-------------------------------------------------- Re: good friends at the Sporting Home International at Ballyduga n By: .22-250 Date: September 15, 2013, 5:11 am --------------------------------------------------------- That's fair enough semi but surely talent has nothing to do with money and sponsorship. That would come when you are winning. But being involved in a sport which is not shooting and anyone who is involved in any type of sport will agree that if you don't believe that you are good enough or have a chance then what's the point? Do you compete not believing your good enough or not have a chance. #Post#: 14690-------------------------------------------------- Re: good friends at the Sporting Home International at Ballyduga n By: semiauto Date: September 15, 2013, 8:58 am --------------------------------------------------------- I know my limitations and everyone has them, not all of us can be George Digweed or Tiger Woods etc but we can and must try If we want to reach a standard that we are happy with, sponsorship & money are a big part of reachin the top in any sport but firstly you have to have "IT" to start with, if you've a talent for somethin the more you put into it then the more you get out of it but shootin clays is so very expensive so practice is very limited, if you've a talent to start with time & money to work make a Big difference. #Post#: 14704-------------------------------------------------- Re: good friends at the Sporting Home International at Ballyduga n By: monty Date: September 15, 2013, 2:28 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Well done lads.
