NRA Competition Database Lists 7000 National Records
Did you know the NRA Competition Database lists nearly 7,000 national shooting records?
Why are there 7000 records? Start with the fact that there are a host of different NRA disciplines: Air Pistol, Action Pistol, High Power Rifle, Smallbore Rifle, Fullbore, just to name a few. Within each discipline there may be records for metallic sight, any sight, rapid fire, slow fire, prone, standing, and other variations. And then there may be separate records for indoor, outdoor, distance, and number of shots fired. Then add team records on top of the individual records. Finally, there are separate records for all the NRA classifications: Open, Civilian, Service, Woman, Junior, Senior, Police, and so on….
The task of validating and registering so many different records is daunting. And the work never stops. Consider this — the NRA sanctions 11,000 tournaments each year. This means that new record claims are being submitted throughout the year.

Looks like the NRA is a little behind in updating some of these records. All of the Shotgun records are dated 1993.
Come on NRA! Catch Up.
All this poor publicity is the mark of someone needing to see their numbers. It would be nice to see, but my numbers are not up either.
This is our sport,,,,,,,,,join it or shut up.
