On purpose or not? Unsportsmanlike or not?
Shooting in an ASA qualifier and have a good score going, the only adult in your group starts talking to you at the stake. His comments aren't negative, but does seem to time them to the final steps of your routine. Comments like "Get another 12; keep it going!" Additionally, while not shooting he's talking a lot about your form, game, and score.
After the event, he makes comments to others that he hopes he didn't make you nervous.
Left feeling like the whole thing was intentional. mind game. I've always thought it's common courtesy to absolutely not talk to the person at the stake.
What are your thoughts? Would you have said something to him? What about talking about score? I've shot a lot of events with a lot of groups and never brought up score outside of verifying the running total.
