No prizes for that foreign muck here, snarls NRA

Journalists, I rest my case.

Funny how in another thread here, we discuss making complaints to the Press regarding unfair reporting and sensational headlines etc

Yet we have the NRA "snarling" about "foreign muck" here ?

I was keeping a polite silence.......

Got you all reading, didn't it :-)

It seems very strange to me that the 4(T) class has prizes on offer despite there being just 4 entrants last time..

I didn't know about any of the forum chat etc but why not have a single course of fire, have everyone shoot that and have done with it? All service rifles have ways of reloading them at speed (stripper clips or whatever), it can't be that hard.

Personally I see no reason why the CoF cannot be handled with a 5/6 round magazine rifle. Shooters will have to adapt with faster firing and reloading accordingly. I think it is doable in the timings but will find out at the match. Either way if the foreign rifles are all generally 5 round mag capacity so they will be competing on an even playing field.

The April match was discussed to death on here earlier in the year: http://www.full-bore.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=21204

I will reiterate; the match was asked for by the CSR competitors, in fact I lay claim to asking for it and Mark Bradley asked Peter Cottrell if we could do it.
The originators of the match just wanted No.4's the world and his wife (HBSA) all wanted to play with foreign service rifles, even SR"b" FFS! The numbers were very small in the foreign classes.
The truth is the majority wanted to shoot with No.4's and given that we had 62 Lee Enfields on the range in April confirms in my book what shooters want!
