Did whoever suggest that just say that with good intentions to maximise your chances of winning or do they just like winning at all costs even when it's stupid? XD
I agree with you, do your best to be your best, if you get into a higher tier and lose you got into the freaking higher tier! :D Good luck with your comp!
The guy who suggested I don't perform at my optimum did so with good intentions. He holds a lot of promise for me in this style of shooting and doesn't want to see me get smashed in a higher grade level for fear it may dissuade me from pushing on. If I win, or place well, I would rather do so against good shooters. Being the best of the rest was never something I aspired to.
I'll see how I go Saturday. I may simply shoot badly and that'll be the end of it however I will tray and shoot and my best and deal with whatever grade I end up in. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.
Ejem! I guess... erm... just a tiny supposision, that I can interpret what that well intended guy tries to suggest you @galenkp. ;)
I am willing to bet, that what he is trying to tell you is something around the lines of:
"If you are in a camp with a group of campers and suddenly a bear attacks, you don't need to be faster than the bear, you only have to be faster than the slowest of the campers." LoL
I think that may be be exactly what he alludes to. :)
