Sadly the post about awful prize money for rifled arms competitions is all
to true. Who's fault is it? Look to the NRAagain! Over the years they
have through stupidity, snobbery and sloth done so much damage to our
shooting sports. can you really im

I'm not too sure about this. Yes, bigger prize funds will
