But how we score is irrelavent to me, after all, the shot is in the same hole regardless, but it does mean that a club shooter can not shoot on a comparable system in their club so has no camparison, where with 9's and tens they did.
To me the crime of the ISSF is changing the equipment rules to make pre 2013 kit illegal or involving expensive mods or replacement, our club kit accumalated over years to allow young shooters to compete nationaly is now non compliant so they will not shoot in open shoots, this will happen all over the UK.
An excellent post Robin,and I completely agree with you,the only thing to come out of the latest ISSF meddling is to discourage the very people it should be encouraging within the sport,it's not cheap to start with,without them throwing these seemingly pointless changes in every year......do they never wonder why the average age of competitive shooters goes up year on year
