I think it should be done but not initially as a sanctioning organization but as a promoter of the sport. It seems like many of the traditional disciplines are falling apart almost by neglect while of newer shooting disciplines receive lots of promotion.
I was following the NRL22 organization on instagram. Partly because I wondered what it was about. They do a really good job of promoting the sport on social media. I think silhouette would benefit from a coordinated promotional effort. This could morph over time to a separate sanctioning organization as needed.
I see it needing to be sooner then later as a time frame... fwiw, my perspective isn't so much NRA bashing as simple extrapolation of previous actions and current situations that would lead to a obvious outcome.... One thing is for sure... time will tell....

Re: NRA CANCELS MATCHES
It's not bashing. They just are not getting the job done. Then just canceling everything.
They excell at lobbying. Its what they do. I will give them money for that
But running Silhouette? They should leave it to the shooters.
Luckily Lots of clubs are having matches anyway. No need for NRA. Its just shooting, no permissions needed.
Score keeping and Score View Apps in the works

Video samples.
They need testing. 2 clubs signed on as beta testers so far.
But scores can be kept with or without fancy apps.
Intelectual Property? How many nations have Silhouette shooters?
NRA just copied from Mexico anyway.
Who is ready? I am. We can at least keep scores in the interm.
Not certain what the new normal will be, but we are creative we will be just fine.
(Go ahead bash me I can take it)

Re: NRA CANCELS MATCHES
Not to bring up a sore subject, but, if we still had score books, we'd still be getting credit for scores/classifications. Clubs could still be shooting with sanctioning. Would have to wait for Grand Slam pins....................
Personally speaking, the books were better than this new system. I think the newer system is more work than the books were.
But that's just me.

Re: NRA CANCELS MATCHES
I got a note today from a TSRA representative that indicated "...NRA Competition Division and they will be accepting applications for Sanctioning a match starting July 1, for any match scheduled for after July 1, 2020."
FYI.

Re: NRA CANCELS MATCHES
My opinion on this is that the NRA tried to do an update of the entire system at the worse time possible and it kind of imploded on itself. Just my .02

Re: NRA CANCELS MATCHES
IMO, the NRA would absolutely be delighted to dump the Silhouette competitions.

He was being funny. Substitute " all" for the word "silhouette" in your post.

I thought it was funny and probably closer to the truth than some people may want to admit.

Re: NRA CANCELS MATCHES
Over 20 years ago when I asked the silhouette director if we could get the NRA to sponsor us in the IMSSU, we were told not only no but hell no and that we were lucky to even have support of silhouette nationally. He did agree to do anything they could as long as it did not cost any money.
BTW, the IMSSU has cancelled the 2020 match.
