NRA stands for National RIFLE Association - Pistol shooting was well accomodated for at Bisley before the ban (anyway we've been over this before) - you can blame who you want for the pistol ban...but you can't hold the NRA responsible for it.the running man wrote:Dougan in answer to youre questions mate,firstly yes i do feel gr shooters not thought as highly of as the tr crowd. a fact reflected by various political decisions over the years,the biggest being the nra being very quiet during the pistol ban. thrre is much more but will only upset people....
I'm getting a bit fed up with the 'knocking' of TR shooters - The Imperial is 'the main event', but there are now 4 meetings a year based round GR, including the Phoenix...there is an excellent GR community at Bisley, and when I shoot at the Phoenix, I like to think I'm part of that 'crowd' aswell.
I still don't think you can say that just because someone is wearing cammo, that they're a 'thug' - Maybe it should be alcohol that's banned ... but not Pimms...obviously :P
