Forum rules
The National Body General Discussion section is exactly that, a section for all of us to discuss the National Bodies and what they are up to.
Please bear in mind that this is an open forum and your posts can be read by all members. If you are in a position that can be compromised by what you are saying on here because someone takes offense and tells your colleagues or your sponsor and that in turn means you are being punished for your posts on here, think before you post!
There is only one reason to join the NRA and that is if you wish to book Bisley ranges there as an individual.
They provide no other real benefits other than insurance which can be got at other places for half the cost of joining the NRA.
They do try hard to support clubs and individuals on specific issues but their knowledge and ability resource on these subjects is limited and can be easily swamped.
They are getting Bisley into better shape and as a range running organisation in Surrey they are worth joining if you want to shoot at Bisley as for anything else then they are seriously wanting as a "national" organisation.
Come on Bambi get some

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but as a shooter who's interest is in the practical disciplines rather than the gravel belly side of things, I feel the NRA have taken great strides in recent months towards growing that side of the shooting sports & so I have shown my support by joining, even though I live 150 miles away.
I'm sure your intentions are good but Iv been at this for at least thirty five years and living in the North East of England the NRA have done nothing for me as a shooter. As I said if you shoot at Bisley yes otherwise don't waste your money.
