I see, well that presumes those who have done the "Donkey work" as you put it have come to the right conclusions.lapua338 wrote:All of the donkey work was done by others."here is a long list get on with it"
I know you don't like hearing this but take it from a fellow sports shooter your club is really making an unnecessary rod for its own back!
No skin off my nose I suppose but there are better ways to go about things, there is no problem with a club having a preferred shooting program I really can't criticise that but you have got yourselves into a fairly absurd situation and I feel a fair amount of sympathy for your local Firearms licensing (an odd situation for me) considering the fuss made and green ink spent over this matter.
I don't think there should be a fix limit on first application but I do think that probationers should be given a reasonable goal. Asking them to buy 7+ different rifles right up is a pretty big stretch.
If that is how you club rolls ... well your funeral but I would think some reflection is needed by your committee about how the club operates.
