Maybe you need to write clearer.

Giving an example of how sponsors think. Many people in shooting think they are the only aspect of the sport. There are many sides, some of which will never be understood by those with blinkers on.

The general idea of this thread is to bring people out of their club environment and think about the larger picture. Not easy to do if people don't shoot prize meetings or have any interest in others that may be trying to work to a bigger picture.

Everyone has their own ideas, some just can't accept that.

do F/TR, FO and FS use the same target?

Steven we don't have F/TR in Australia, it is currently not sanctioned in the SSR's. Both FO and FS will be using the same target as of the official release of the updated SSR's but in reality in most instances they are already doing so.

is the NRAA a member of ICFRA?

Yes F/TR use the ICFRA target as do F-Std and F-Open. If you want to do some research on your questions look here: http://www.nraa.com.au/ and here: http://icfra.com/
Hope this helps to answer your questions!

so if the NRAA shoots to ICFRA rules, then why do we need to have F/TR added to our SSRs?

I've come from archery, where AA is the national body and is a member of FITA (the international governing body). AA follows FITA rules for divisions, rounds etc, but also adds to those with its own rules (extra divisions, rounds etc)

Steven,
The NRAA has adopted the ICFRA target, but not the ICFRA rules generally. However I believe the World L R Champs in Brisbane later in the year will be shot to ICFRA rules. The SSRs (when they are finally updated) will continue in their own right as the primary rules document for domestic competition. Presumably they will specify ICFRA targets, but be otherwise largely unchanged. So F/TR is not currently specified in the SSRs nor is it legalised by our adoption of one aspect of the ICFRA rules, that being the target.
