Mike B., I've done both and enjoyed both and the shooters in "Bench Rest Skeet" are not as bad as you make them out to be, just not quite in a league with the I-Skeet competitors. I have refereed NSSA for years and have not experienced begged targets.

Mike, interesting experiences. Here in Iowa, we're wondering whether our up and coming shooting star Haley Dunn will get the Olympic skeet slot over Kim Rhode. It's a shame we can only send one.

eightbore, I apologise to you and the 99% of NSSA shooters who are salt of the earth. I took one bad experience, I guess and let it colour my judgement. I suppose what I was trying to say, not very well, was that the top shooters in NSSA, as well as the top shooters in International Skeet and Trap are class acts and do not run around telling people how bloody marvellous they are, they do not have to. We know.
Larry, yes,well Haley came on the scene after I quit refereeing at the top level due to vision difficulties, but I do follow the progress of the USA Shooting guys and girls even today. I have refereed Kim Rhode since she was sixteen, she is a super shooter, and like you, I think it is a shame USA Shooting can't send both to China. I think the high spot of my career as an Olympic judge over the years was getting to know Lloyd Woodhouse, the USA Olympic shotgun coach. If there is a classier guy around, I have yet to meet him
Mike

I can see where you are coming from, Joe, but I wouldn't take it so seriously. If you guys shoot trap, you see so many guys who have been shooting for 40 years and they are still up on the closest handicap. I have been shooting for 6-7 years and have a 2-3 yard handicap over them. They go out and shoot registered targets and intentionally miss targets so they can shoot short yardage in the tournaments. It is like someone who cheats at golf, or anything else. Don't you want to know how good you honestly are? Like I always said, anytime there is money involved........ But I don't worry that much about what someone else does. The guys who have the longest handicap are the best shooters. You know who the good ones and the bad ones are.

Oh!! And as far as so many people claiming to be SEALS. I believe they now have a website giving their names to weed out the impostures.
