Anyone know whether the NRA will be sanctioning matches this year and, if so, whether the season might be extended given the continuing COVID situation?

I'm keen to know because I would like to shoot them again (my first attempt was last year in Oregon - only because I returned to OR much earlier in the year to get away from COVID at home!!!!), but this year I doubt that I will get back to USA …

I wonder if any match directors out there have considered changing the traditional 2700 match format to help shooters conserve ammo and components during what is likely to be a prolonged ammo shortage.

Even though the seasoned competitors probably have enough ammo and/or components on hand to keep shooting at a normal pace for years to come, there must be many newer or less committed shooters …

I help coach a collegiate pistol team.  We have been using Kruger targets for many years, imported from Germany.  Their paper is a little heavier & stiffer than most US target brands, and they produce cleaner holes that are easier to score.   The difference is most noticeable for air pistol targets, but the .22 targets are also nicer.

Unfortunately, it appears that Kruger is getting out …

One of my task in computing Outdoor State Championship results has always been to fill out a form (attaching $12) listing our top 10 state residents ranked by .22 caliber NMC scores making our "State Team" for an NRA Postal Match.  Winners got a blue hat pin, and then, if our score ranked within the top 3 nationally, winners got a gold/silver or bronze hat pin as well.  No form was in my …

Miriam has resigned as Bullseye Director.
A replacement to be named later.

One of the issues that I have seen is that most new shooters don’t know enough to ask for a temporary scorebook. When that is combined with the difficulty I’ve had in getting them, I have looked repeatedly for over a year and they are never in stock, I’m wondering if we can’t come up with a field expedient solution. If I were to make a pdf of such a thing would anyone else be …

Folks,

Attached is a full version of John Dreyer's "Tournament" software.

I discussed putting a free version of the software on the forum with John's widow and she thought it was a great way to extend John's legacy.

There are a number of very smart software developers on the forum and I'm hoping that bugs that John never got around to fixing can be fixed here with updated versions that are …

Am I correct in understanding that due to COVID these events will not be held this year?

John Bickar? Others? Hope that you can let us all know.

After all the grumbling and complaints with the NRA, just curious why so many match directors chose to keep their matches sanctioned with the NRA vs CMP. I’d prefer to support the CMP but not many local matches to be found. 

I’ve also been told that CMP is a flat rate fee and the club ends up paying less and keeping more. In addition, the CMP sends an email with results and lists …
