Just got back from the Florida Open http://www.frankgarciausa.com/flaopen/main.html and was on a squad with a few shooters from a foreign country of hispanic heritage (maybe Puerto Rico, but not sure). They were nice enough guys but what was weird was they never lifted a finger to help out pasting. Not one paster. Even when one of the guys on the squad asked them to help out, the ignored him and sat on their rumps when everyone else was taping.

What's the deal? Were they rude or is it customary in their country not to have to work when you shoot?

Other than that (and the 5 stages we shot in the on and off rain)...had a blast...shot 400 rounds over 12 stages...enjoyed great company...made some new friends and learned to rely on that front sight more....lots of loooonnnngggg shots. Cant wait for the Florida Championship next month.

I've seen it before in a few foreign teams from the Caribbean, they are rich and spoiled and lazy from what I can tell.
