What is being overlooked here is the fact that if tempers run high and emotions spill over on the subject of the NRA then it is purely down to a overwhelming desire for the NRA to evolve into an effective body representing ALL Target Shooters across ALL disciplines.
Every shooter wants the NRA to improve, they don't want to see it disappear in a slow lingering and messy death.
Shooters are passionate about their sport and protecting and promoting it and that translates into frustration when that is threatened or there is apparent inaction!
Please, Please NRA, go public, get out there, engage with non members across the country represent us all. Even without facilities north of Bisley, I'd join if I thought I was being well represented and had other benefits othe rthan Bisley!

Re: Northern update
The present NRA can be classed as "not fit for purpose" - outside of local/national govenment and charities, such a state of affairs could not exist in a real world environment
They should look back to WHY they were formed, and WHEN - dig out the original Constitution and start appealing to the masses in the ranks of club shooters not just the Home Counties/Bisley-catchment-area Target Rifle folk
Times have moved on, the NRA failed to adapt & has lost direction
