So Mr S. Brown Esquire - did you know there is a fund that might help a young shooter enter the CSR Imperial?

May be there's a fund for that too - if you can show you are needy and would benefit

Hey I'll accept donations to the Young Shooters Fund for a swimsuit pic posted here

Offers . . .

You can use it to scare young shooters as to what will happen if they spend their youth unwisely sign01

Sorry to prolong what has become a somewhat contentious topic.......but can somebody in the NRA advise us, the Members, just what is the time scale on the withdrawal of the mid-week facility of Siberia to the members....and the re-instatement of similar facilities on Century......it would be very helpful to actually know so that we can do some planning....

Thank you

Alexham, yes I have shot on Short Siberia many times and do recognise the importance of a short distance range for the NRA members. However I also recognise the importance of any range for us as NRA members and if it means we have to move to a different location in order for the NRA to make more money then I am all for it. I do agree the change of use for Short Siberia has been poorly publicised so far however if it is indeed to go ahead let's support the move as something positive and look to the future.

For the record I am both an NRA trade and individual member and will do my utmost to continue to support the organisation through bad times as well as good and if this means the short term loss of a range and some disruption and even the NRA becoming even more biased towards the South of England short term then so be it. I see no real alternative right now.

Ovenpaa,
I think you are missing the point that those who "cleared the mess" are the same people that "made the mess" in the first place. No marks or credit for this, I am afraid. Money coming in must be a good thing is a little glib. NRA is there to maintain the ranges and promote the shooting sport for the benefit of its members and affiliated clubs. Nuclear police are not members and what they do is not a shooting sport! And, even if they all became members, the NRA has no mandate to give a small group of members preference over others. The correct approach would have been to call an EGM: consult the members and explain what exactly the proposal was and then proceed after, hopefully, the members agreed to it.
Have you noticed that earlier in this thread, when Targetman asked for information a senior NRA manager (Firearms Officer, no less) referred him to my letter to Pizer! That is the best information that is available. MY BLOODY LETTER!

We are facing a tripple dip recession! We shall be lucky to have any members in Scotland and Wales. We shall probably be reduced to a shooting club with a pull of 50 miles and no more. At the time when we should be sticking together and promoting support and co-operation the thustees had a gall to decide what is best for us, nothwithstanding that they have a record of wrecking everything they touch stretching back 40 years.

What is done is done, but we must ensure that it never happens again.
