Perhaps the NRA could improve accessibility by allowing members of affiliated clubs to shoot. I believe the affiliation covers insurance requirements, and the necessary competence certs. could be registered and held by the NRA.
Just an idea to get a few more bellies on mats...........

Hauptman,
I have such a group, but most have to work and cannot shoot midweek, not to mention the extra hour it takes to get to Bisley in weekday traffic (and additional gallon of petrol). We shoot mainly at short range (100 to 300yds) and that means shooting on Century as Short Siberia is not available in the week. Very often that turns out to be a total nightmare.
NRA shooting club is not an option either, especially not in Low Season. I prefer afternoon shoots and that means that, in effect, one has only 2 hours before it gets dark, so it is not possible to take advantage of shooting at more than one range. In my opinion, paying £20 for that is only for the desperate, but I would not discourage anyone from doing it.
I like to shoot once a week and I have not yet found a group or a club that shoots as often.
