Im starting to see this more and more as i get better and its starting to get to me. Today at a Shoot i got called a Pencil pusher(First time ever), when asked what i shot getting told "Did you double check you math", told "You must have gotten way better cause i know you cant shoot those scores", Etcc.. Etcc.. Many other things in a demeaning manner that i wont even go into. Im pretty pissed off right now and have been since the conversation.. I normally dont let things get to me but this time it did. Also the caliber of archer that said all this i would think would be more professional in these situations..
I know some of you will say to just avoid this person, but its not going to be an option. We will have to shoot in the same groups in the very near future.
SO how would you or how have you dealt with this type of situation??
I think i handled it well by trying to keep my mouth shut the best i could. Most people i know would not have dealt with that to well.. It was uncomfortable for a few people that over heard the conversation as well.. I didnt realize until after when a few people had asked me what the arguement was about.. I guess it was more awkward then i thought... Funny thing is.. I know 60% of the archers there and didnt realize others were listening to all of this. Im starting to wonder if alcohol was involved as this guy is a known drinker.. This is also the third unpleasent run in with this guy.
