Re: News from the NRA

The NRA still doesn't get shooting beyond Bisley. Up to a year or two ago people more than 150 miles from Bisley paid a lesser fee because they couldn't take advantage of Bisley as often. They've now been restructuring the fees, they have got rid of the distance difference so members over 150 miles away pay more and members who are less than 150 miles pay less. What sort of signal does that send out to the regions. I've been a NRA member for many years now but find it very hard to put convincing arguments to my shooting friends and colleagues as to its relevance to them. To be honest it has none. The insurance is used as an argument but I can get as good for less if I am just looking at insurance, we've had that discussion here anyway.
I was going to leave this year, but have decided to give it another 12 month to see if the NRA will do something for me in the NE, not for me in Surrey, instead of years of asking what I would do for it.
We've had fine words and hope from Glyn Alger but he has yet to walk the talk.
Dodgyrog's post on the establishment is a perception that the vast majority of shooters have of the NRA in this country and the NRA, employess who post her excepted, has or is doing nothing to dispel it.
