Remove the incompetents who removed the rule in the SSR's that specificaly catered for this sort of class of shooting and restore the 1998-2006 rule for F Class Field Rifle.

Because Grafton in 1998 decided to embrace Field and Rimfire Class of shooting and F Class Field Rifle ( Known localy as Sporting Shooter) the membership has grown from 15 to 120+. A lot of these new members are from Family groups where parents and juniors enjoy their day out at the range.
From this we have a Junior that will be the Club Champion for the year as well as being last years State Junior Fullbore Champion.
We also cater for the Chronologicaly chalenged shooters with instalation of Air powered Target lifting devices in the Butts so those with heart and back problems can enjoy their day as well.
So we are both encouraging new shooters and retaining the older shooters as well

Ken, this is a great idea, and I beleive this is a good way to start in the sport and then move on to a target rifle later .. if you want to of course.

How can we as constituents of the NRAA start the ball rolling on this kind movement within the sport. ie Target shooting with the hunting rifles to pique peoples interests?

We are trying to get a shoot between the SSAA group on our range at 300 yards to see if we can get anyone interested in coming over to shoot with us.

The short version of why it got "taken away", beside FS and FO no one shot anything else in big enough numbers.
