Thread: New NZ 3 gun divisions

I agree that getting more people shooting is a good move. But watering down the competition by adding more divisions to an already low shooter pool to make medals and awards even more meaningless is not the way to go.
Cost is probably the number 1 cause of low shooter turnout. Accomodation, travel, entry fee and ammunition to compete in a 2 or 3 day national event in another part of the country is a certainty. The exact costs involved per person will vary but they are always there and they arnt cheap when feeding 3 guns and traveling away from home.

Getting more people involved starts at club level and by running 3-gun shoots and getting the individual shooters to a point that they want to spend the money to go and compete in a national type event.

So why are we supposedly changing the divisions again?
