argh!! I'm going against my son! I don't know which one of us to cheer for!

We'll probably both lose and Tracey will win. :)

Oh my word - that's funny! You can blame your own averages (at the time of sampling) for that happenstance!

Yup, I had a word with Paul ;) then he got me back by putting me up against

Kelli, 600+ challenges with the power to beat her average by more than 2 points!

Holy Cow, I'm up against

Melethia? She just beat her avg in Grunge by 1.1 and in my last challenge I only beat my avg by .2. Looks like it will be one and done for me!

John has a 6.41 average to beat though! That's a tough ask!

True enough, but he's only failed at once in the last 10 challenges :)

I haven't been doing so well lately though, as long as it isn't a zoo challenge you shouldn't have any trouble knocking me out. ;D Good luck everyone! This will be fun even if I only last one round.

Thanks Paul (and Niall) for setting up these matches!

Gulp! So much for me hoping for a landscape challenge as an advantage, that would be a heavy task against

Silent-Shooter :P
But best of luck to you Stephen, hope we both have a fun week of shooting and giving it our best :)

6.41? I never noticed John's average had left the planet.

European contest for me with

ray_mefarso. Hope the coming challenge won't be olympic. A naval one would be nice from a historical PoV :)
