Hi all, Flew my first W/c fly. They flew the 20 min. I had two dark checks out most of the fly time. managed a score of 19.5 and a 1.0 Quality and 1.2 depth. So I can only improve next year. Had a good time. only we didn't get to vist much because they are trying to judge the whole state in one day!!I'll post more scores when I here. I was first to fly so I probably lead for 2 1/2 hrs till they got to the next loft!!!from left to right RD Bob Chamberlin,Ralf Cowgill, Dennis Cowgill Judge Carl Hardesty,Kim Tappenden, Doug Moore ---

Tapp,
Congrats on your first fly. Never get discouraged on your first fly...I think I got like 19pts on my first fly....just use it as motivation to do better....and trust me....one fly a year is not always a gauge of your birds.....these little guys can make you look great...or eat crow...LOL!!...I look at some of my scores...and I would be in the 200+ for a couple of flys and then the next fly get a 64 and you did nothing different...my point is...guage yourself and you birds over the long hall...not one or two flys...anyway...I am glad that you competed and I hope that you have many more to come.
rock and ROLL

Tapp,
The whole thing is that you competted. I found that since I competed I am getting phone calls and email from people who before may not have taken the time to give me the time of day. Even though my birds didn't do well I have been given some credence from some people who have never given me much credence before.
Weird ain't it?
Congratulations, Tapp!
Nick
