Supported Air Pistol Shooting

[zooma]

People are doing something about it and you can download a copy of the DSB Rules from their website. They are in PDF form. But there is one little problem, the file is in protected format so you cannot even cut and paste it into Google Translate or the like. Even if you do use an online translator you will find that it does't handle the technical language that the document uses. So there is just the small matter of finding a technical linguist to translate and transcribe them. Then you have to redraft the information into a format that is compatible with the NSRA Rules. Following that they will have to be approved by the PAC Committee before going to the Shooting Council.

This "push" you refer to is largely irrelevant, the information has been out there for months, all you had to do was read The Rifleman to find it. If you feel that it should be progressed in a different manner, then why not contact your county NSRA representative?

Finally, it is worth remembering that a great deal of the work associated with supported air pistol has been
carried out by volunteers. There is very little spare resource available at the NSRA so if you feel that you might be able to help you can contact the chairman of the PAC Committee who I am sure will be pleased to hear from you.

Thanks for your valuable and helpful contribution to this thread although it does come across as being a bit negative and almost resentful of people trying to make an effort to get something going rather then waiting for a governing body to do it for them.

I am sorry that you feel this "push" is largely irrelevant and you will have to excuse me for not agreeing with you at all.

Hopefully we can download the DSB rules for Senior Supported Air Pistol Shooting and find a way to understand what it says although it is regretful that the NRSRA have not already done this as it has been an active discipline in Germany since at least 2010 and is reported to be the fastest growing branch of the sport - and yet in 2015 we still have no "official" reference to Senior Supported Air Pistol Shooting or indeed any translation of the existing rules.

You refer to the great deal of work that has been done in regard to supported pistol shooting and yet the basic requirement of knowing what the rules say for Senior Supported Air Pistol Shooting has NOT been done.

If you have no idea what the actual rules are - just how much effective work has been done?
