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!

Who's James?
Yes, we are aware of that and you would have been too if you had read this thread from the beginning.
What do you know about the bid?
I assume that'll be James Harris NRA rep for shotgunny shooting type of thing......target shotgun/PSG.

Historic Enfield's only in CSR I'm afraid, quite a few of the lads shoot them in CSR.
Getting back to your moan about Bisley; I don't recognise the Bisley you describe!

I'll agree with you about the fact that the NRA has been badly run for some while, but the more positive of us are pleased by the recent changes and are prepared to give them them a chance to sort it out...time will tell.
As for the rest of your post, especially comments like the one above, show that you have little 'understanding' about what goes on at Bisley or the future of competitive shooting at all.

There is the 'Any Iron Sights' class.
Basically if you have a rifle that will hold 10 rounds (preferably in a detachable mag, but not necessary) then it'll be welcome and will have a class to go in to.
Arming the Country, one gun at a time.
Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.

Admittedly the K31 would be out (am I right in thinking that's a 6 rnd mag?) but any other rifle that has a 10rnd capacity there will be a class for .
