The United Sport-shooting Confederation
Guys and gals, lend me your ears...
With specific reference to the raft of proposed amendments to the FCA that are about to be foist upon us, it seems that Dedicated Sports Shooters are going to carry a large part of the burden... and collectors less of the burden.
Instead of going straight to the divisive "the collectors must colluded" device, I discovered that there is a crucial difference between how collectors organisation are structured and how they award collectors status, and how the sport-shooting organisations operate. The collectors (all 8 organisations) arrange themselves under a single banner and have a unified standard for awarding collectors status. We, sport-shooting organisations, on the other hand, each do our own thing and resist recognising each other's status even.
This is silly. We are dividing ourselves and making an attack on each or all of us so much easier.
We will create a single Dedicated Sport Shooting standard across all the Accredited Associations which will allow us to address the Governments concerns about DSS, and will make it possible to recognise ALL dedicated activities across all the flavours of sport-shooting. Someone who is SADPA accredited will be able to get recognition for doing a Pin Shoot, or a training course which attests to his or her dedication as a sport-shooter.
With this, specifically, in mind, Gunowners SA is convening a meeting of representatives from accredited associations at the clubhouse at Magnum Shooting Range in Pretoria to discuss the creation of this United Sport-shooting Confederation. It is envisaged that each accredited sport-shooting association will have one voting representative. GOSA (as convenor) will provide a Chair.
Please get the word out to your associations and ask them to contact unitedsportshootconfederation@gmail.com."Always remember to pillage before you burn"

The non-cynical part of me thinks this is a fantastic idea.

Re: The United Sport-shooting Confederation
So here's the thing... the new organisation would stay completely out of everything else about the sports. It concerns itself purely with matters of mutual interest.
During the SADPA Exco meeting last week we must have spent an hour talking about the FCA impact on DSS and how we needed to structure our DSS certificate to co-ordinate with membership renewal, etc. I imagine that each association sits with a similar problem. The solution is to NOT make this the problem of the shooting associations."Always remember to pillage before you burn"
