How is that any cheaper?Alpha1 wrote:Main club 25yards 50yards distances from 100 to 500 yards £200 a year any tuition is free cost of RCO training competency cards paid for by the club. Probationers pay a £10 range fee get free use of all the club guns they pay for ammo used. Tuition is free training for the shooters competency thingy is free. All delivered by qualified instructors. You need to move North my friends sell Bisley and put the money in the coffers and concentrate on representing shooters Nationally.

If shooters don't join and offer their financial support in membership fees then the NRA have to find different ways to financially support their aims and loyal members. We need a strong NRA to represent our sport and that will best be accomplished by having more members. For all else said about Mr Mercer there have been some very worthwhile changes during his tenure and for that I believe he and the NRA deserves better support for their present and future plans than much of that expressed here. At the end of the day this is our national organisation and our best hope of getting shooting supported at both a recreational and political level, but they need the money to do it and that can only come from a strong membership base......or by realistic charging of services at commercial rates.
What, seriously? The NRA were not at the Shooting Show?HALODIN wrote:Interestingly I would have joined the NRA on Sunday if only I could have found their stall at the shooting show...

Thought I fixed it on Saturday, but it wouldn't feed any rounds when I tried it on Sunday. I was too knackered from running a squad to shoot on the day anyway, so no biggie really..Thorney wrote:

'Retired' - gun broke proper?

It's not you. Everyone has their limits for what they can justify spending on shooting, and it appears to me that the NRA pricing is pitched above that of the level that's acceptable for many, but then I see from the ONS that the average full time income is £27k, so I suppose the cost has to be started somewhere.Tower75 wrote: I guess it's me after all.
Funny how Mercer can give a next-day reply to rubbish a prospective member while repeatedly ignoring other emails asking when he's going to refund a university club's range hire fee after they were unable to shoot due to fog.Tower75 wrote:Well, I got a reply from Mr. Mercer at the NRA, a next day reply to my email, which is to be fair a pretty decent response time regardless of who you are.
So, apparently it's me that's the issue, I have been informed that the NRA currently has over 100 new probationers on the go. Their probationary fees have come down too I've been informed. I guess I can't really argue with that, I can only disagree. Over 100 people are happy to pay the £500 fees and their membership base is growing, so...
I guess it's me after all.
