So why is it when these guys get into bed together, it's the competitive shooter who gets scr****.

Larry, The CMP Range represents a huge investment. They truly want to provide quality service to the shooters that frequent the range. The comments from those shooters, frequent customers, will carry the greatest weight. That is not to say the CMP management is not paying attention to F-Class shooters that have never been to the range. It is saying their first goal is to provide quality service to the shooters that are shooting most often at the CMP range. F-Class represents a competitive discipline, a form of recreation, and a market for range operators.

I don't wish to insult anyone. I have chosen to take a long-term view of the F-Class at the CMP range. I will try to promote it inside of the existing facilities and hopefully over time I be afforded the opportunity to guide the growth of those activities at the CMP facility. Anyone that wishes to help shape the F-Class activities at CMP facility is welcome. It is a simple case of leading change rather than dictating it. As the F-Class activity grows at the range our opportunity to affect positive change will grow.

As for whether a comment about people that chose not to shoot at the range not having a significant voice in the activities, it's not impolite. It is a recognition that existing customers, active shooters, have an inside opportunity to affect change. Just a reality of life.

Mr. Tyler,
As a world class facility the CMP Range should be monitoring and evaluating trends in the shooting industry in order to grow with the industry. This includes understanding and adapting to the shooting sports and listening to the shooters. Alot of these shooters that are offering advice are shooters who travel all over the country and some the world. Yes they may not be customers that frequent your range, or have never been to your range, but they have experience shooting on different ranges. They are familiar with what a range needs in order to be successful.

i was told that they are working on an overlay with rings so people can hold off like it should be but with the problems i have seen personally and heard i doubt i will be putting any matches on my calendar for next year. and on a good note i did find a range near me 40 miles that i can shootout to 1000 yards so it looks like i wont be having to drive up to Talladega to practice my 600 yard ( my club only has 300 yards).

Use the same aiming centres as pulled targets on plastic coreflute velcroed to the ET

That is exactly what we (CIHPRS) do at Atterbury with our SMT's. We just have the calibration set lower so you aim at the center and it hits aprox 10" low to save the X/10 ring of the aiming centers.
