Gentlemen,

The purpose of the Traditional and Open Class is to preserve traditional shooting and rifles while at the same time encouraging new techniques and rifles. A mistake being made is that Open Class is somehow the same as "Leper Class"...not so. One has to find a "line in the sand" when having a traditional and open class; and I think we have tried to use some careful thought in doing this. I am convinced that having a traditional class in both the NRC and the WSU has increased our participation. 

Another mistake that is being made is that there won't be any more rest rifle shooting. Nothing could be further from the truth. Rest rifle shooting will now be under the umbrella of the National Rifle Club...and any match can be a joint WSU/NRC affair. Nothing has really changed other than we have revived an old club and you as a competitor have the opportunity to win a different medal. Seems like a "win-win" to me...other than if you are one of the guys who donates his time to work at a match. In this case you have a bit more paper-work to do.

I fail to see why reviving an old club or association is a bad thing...especially when the guys doing the work are in favor of it. And...we are making it possible for ANY single shot rifle firing a plain-base lead bullet to participate in a NRC or WSU match. I want to respectfully point out that I believe this is something that neither the ASSRA or the ISSA is currently allowing?

I'm also thinking that, as this is an ASSRA website, discussion about the WSU/NRC rules and procedures should be done on the WSU website. I couldn't blame the moderator if he said, "Take it outside, guys!"

No offense intended to any association or individual here...

I just had a thought !   Maybe a simple rule change to traditional class would be in order.  Any BP score target that measures less than 3" would be disqualified and the shooter given a chance to shoot a larger group.

That should level the field a little.   This makes no sense at all . I dont know how it fits in this thread. 

I said it was just a thought. It just came to me out of nowhere.

With all this talk of seperating offhand and benchrest under WSU and NRC I got to wondering about the rules for Benchrest under NRC. I can't find any site for NRC is there somewhere that I can go to find out about the club?
