Ever participate in the National Birdhunter trials?

Mr. Gordon, No, I never participated in the National Bird Hunters trials. I witnessed a couple around my area, but had the same feeling you did of the NSTRA trials.

William, I think we’re just subject to the individuals who run and foster the trials we participated in. I certainly did not mean to besmirch an entire organization over my experience. Glad to know your NSTRA experiences have been good.
