Long Range Letch
Rules exist to govern this type of encounter! The 'fit from far' ones are a good starter however the "Long Range Letch" is a set of guidelines some of you may find useful.
Here they are...
1.The target must me more than 50m away.
2. errr ... that's it.
As long as rule 1 is applied then you are free from any guilt if the target turns out to be:
- ugly
- fat
- both of the above
- under-age
- a man
- (as happened in one case) a shop dummy.
You must however declare the letch out loud i.e., "long range letch" then a simple fire control order to bring everyone "on". It’s also a great game to play in pub gardens when minced and loud.
