Selection to the Team

First let me say, I had a terrible Nationals last year. I took my brand new stock (a System Gemini) and left behind my faithful (and heavy) Mastin stock. I had no end of problems. Chiefly because my grip was set in the wrong position (easily done because the Gemini is so adjustable and I hadn't really had enough practice). So I wouldn't be going along very well, shooting a lovely tight group with high x-count and then would throw a shot high left in the four ring. Consistently. Drove me absolutely crazy and I finished 75 spots down in the Grand Aggregate from my first year. Not nearly a good enough performance to make the Bisley team strictly on merit. But this being a World Championship year, most of the folks ahead of me on the selection list dropped out so that they could focus on going to the Worlds at Camp Perry in Ohio. So I made the team.
