hi guys
is this a new competition?
it's a little expensive for a non NRA member especially if you win and then not eligible for a prize

It is expensive, sorry.

This inaugural event is a bit of a fund raiser and a bit of a party! Again sorry it's steep but there'll be more competitions open to all including non NRA members and cheaper!!

The competition is oversubscribed through word of mouth at the moment but there may be cancellations, hence the advertisement.


We're new, wish us luck!!

Best of luck from me also. I would also be interested in this. Nice to see something new for pistol shooting.

And will non members to NRAI be able to take a medal or two of you?

Don't you mean the US NRA? The NRAI is a separately group entirely to the lads running this, the IBS.
