We charge $6/Big Bore-Half Scale, $5/Small Bore-Field Pistol-Fifth Scale & $3 for the first gun, $2 for each additional gun for AIR. The reason for $3 on the first gun is we have to pay an hourly rental for our indoor range. These fees have been charged for at least 12 years (& when sanction...

Maybe Steve & BOOMER need to run for office! :twisted: Now I know why I got out of this 15 years ago...BITCH, BITCH, BITCH! :twisted: Craig, I suggest you go back & read my posts. There is not one bitch there. I made inquires which Steve M. responded to & I appreciate his candid respons...

Steve, if you are so against it, DON'T OFFER IT! Man give it a rest dude! Craig, You have totally missed the point of my discussion. The issue is not am I for or against adding disciplines. The issue is HOW DO WE GROW THE SPORT?? Adding disciplines of and by itself will not do it. We have to reach ...

With only 4 disciplines, it would be fairly easy! But, with 26 or more that is a different story!

At the end of the two years I hope it will be clear one way or the other (like it was with Air, half-scale, and fifth-scale) and the members of that board will make the best decision for the sport. Don't forget, you will not be able to update the match software. That will be an extra burden on over...

Steve M.,

Since you are reading this thread, please respond to my post that is the next to the last post on page 1 concerning what empirical data is IHMSA going to use to determine if this will be approved or not. I am still waiting for an answer.

Steve W.

Check the proposed Practical Hunter thread. That is the subject.

The biggest competitor you have at most local matches is yourself. & that is my point. If someone wants to shoot a Production Scoped Off Bags gun & it is safe as a match director I have no problem with that. But, why add a class? Just let them shoot the bloody gun! I have Small Bore rifles ...

Stephen, read my post. I am not suggesting dropping/eliminating disciplines. I am saying that ADDING disciplines will slice the pie smaller.

Steve, You are forgetting one important component of IHMSA's skyrocketing growth in the late '70's until Elgin died. Elgin sold wonderful handguns for much less than your local gun store. Gun nuts will buy cheap guns. BTW, the first International at Idaho Falls had 1900 entries with only 4 disciplin...
