How much did you pay for your membership in Freedom? How about IBS? How about the big amount you are contributing to this website? Who have you talked with with recommendations to the issuesyou are so upset about?
You just named several rules that were voted on by shooters at their respective ranges. Going back to one of your other post in here, that IS shooter ran. These ranges have to do what is in their best interest to gain membership. E targets, rear bags, etc, it’s all voted by the range. What should it matter to you what someone is doing in another area of the country? If you don’t shoot there, it shouldn’t matter. If you like or dislike what one of the ranges are doing, again it was voted by shooters. The rules don’t have to be uniform across the board, that’s why they are different. Most places don’t shoot warm up targets the morning of matches, but some do..
Baseball has American and National leagues different rules but Americas sport. Some ranges have pits and some don’t, that’s different so are those not the same sport? And Alex you know first hand that in other sanctions that every range isn’t following the same processes.
Yessir
I could probably google this but it may be easier for a lazy guy like myself to just ask~ Q : If a guy shoots a record at one range using a mechanical rear and E target, is that record still recognized at another range using paper targets with sand only rear bag ?
It would be an E target record. The thing is, some ranges only have the capacity to shoot E targets. So instead of telling them to kick rocks, because that’s not how our sanction works, there is a place for them in the association.
Of course, anytime.
Well, that's good news to me. So officially, the sandbag rests are illegal right now?
Sure, pits or no pits, but that doesn't change the format or the rules. You know what I'm trying to say every different sanctioning body has different rules, but within the own body. There is a basic set of rules that they all follow. I think you know the point that I'm trying to make. It's far away from that as it ever has been now
If you are so concerned about the sport, why not reach out personally to someone in leadership of the association instead of getting on a public forum? Alex you get on FB talking about how you’re concerned for the sport. Then you get on this forum, obviously trying to make a divide. This just feels so disingenuous and like you are pushing an agenda, like a someone at the Grammys.
I’m not sure why this burr is still stuck somewhere with you but for your info i use my steel rest at IBS nationals last year with directors approval. Your thoughts on rear rest are wrong in so many ways in FB I don’t need to explain and waste anybody’s time.
