It should not be beyond the wit of man to produce a common prone rifle instructor course. The idea of running it on the smallbore rifle might bring a few howls of protest, but I have yet to hear any substantive reason why that could not be done. After all, in order to instruct, the candidate would still have to hold the relevant RCO qualification and that would stop a smallbore only shooter instructing fullbore without any other experience.
I to am sorry that the NATSS project is effectively dead. There were many potential benefits and had the will been there ways would have been found to overcome the obstacles on the road to integration. But the CPSA withdrew, and has not yet explained why, so that was that.
