We are waiting until the LSA meeting on March 1 to see if they are going to require LSA membership for out-of-state shooters or just have a reciprocal agreement like everyone else. If it is reciprocal, we will run a state championship, if not we will run a Regional. The price will remain the same though.

We are definitely leaning toward a Regional shoot and if someone knows how to post a poll, please put one up asking if it matters for a state championship or a regional

Don't give a crap. If I get to come, it will be for the people, food, and fun.

Come on Jason....it's a blast. Shoot join Byron and come to Sunshine Classic while you are at it.

Better hope Ducky doesn't find your tent

Cannot be Lower Alabama as we are too smart to pay football coaches 4 million dollars a year to lose to a Utah college!

I don't know if you are aware of the new change in the NRA rules, but, "You don't have to be an NRA member to shoot on a Register or State Match." You must be a member to post a National Record.
In other words, is up to the Match Director to specify wether you must be a member ( NRA ) or not, to participate in your match.
As far as Texas is concerned, if I am hosting the Texas State Championship, the TSRA will require all shooters to be members of TSRA.
I will contact them tomorrow, and see if they will wave this requirement, but I seriously doubt it.

Evelio,

I did not know of the rules changes, but we WILL require all participants to be NRA members. What is their reasoning? For the foreign competitors?

We will have an answer as to whether we run a state or a regional championship by March 2.

Evelio,

I do not have a problem with TSRA requiring membership as the TSRA at least gives the shooters something in return for their money. Unlike the LSA where you do not even get a newsletter regularly. They are so unorganized that the regularly scheduled annual meeting did not take place as no one knew about it! That is why the meeting is March 1!

I guess I should ask if we do NOT have a state championship, will you still attend.

Ducky,
You know what my answer is...I paid last year for this match. Now as to state or no state association membership...Coates got a note about the changed meeting date of LSA...I did not, we are both members. Most other state champs that I have shot in have reciprocating state memberships. I can grasp you frustration with the LSA, you and Jerry are the match directors, while I strongly support your decision to listen to the shooters and give them what they want....don't fret the small stuff about states vs. regional.....shooters will still come.

Mary

Thanks Mary,

We are strongly leaning towards a Regional regardless of what the LSA does and them Jerry can run a state championship down in South Louisiana

Ducky,
already been woken up late one evening to be informed that I was expected to be at both Winny and the LA states where ever they may end up....
