What is the future of rimfire BR,
After taking our 13 year old son to the last shoot where he was dissapointed .
-Charged the same entry fee as senior shooters
-There was only 2 juniors that competed .
- travelled 4 hours each way.
-supported the canteen all day .
-We both shot 3 classes .
-cost our family a few hundred dollars.
Only to get in the car to leave the range , when our son said I won all classes for a junior and got nothing except a well done good shooting to the juniors comment at the presentation . Now how hard and much cost is it to present the juniors with something for their efforts , as they are the future of the sport surviving ??
Our Family travelled over 10,000 km’s competing last year in rimfire BR where at most events our 2 sons and myself competed , this is our decision and a large financial cost to our family which we may have to reconsider our decision if we stay with the sport anymore.
Regards Pete
