Scores of rim fire matches are not a life or death issue. I did not want to write this post but I think the time is appropriate. We in the Rim Fire community have been patiently awaiting your update of the Rule book, World Records and Hall of fame points for now over 2 years. As participants in this sport we don’t ask for much, we don’t get paid anything and we don’t win anything! All we have are the records, score lines and Hall of fame points as evidence of our own personal achievements. We have all invested an extreme amount of time, money and energy in a sport that you have to love just for the sport. At this point in time we aren’t sure which records or rules are correct or current. We don’t know when a possible World Record is shot or if a Hall of Fame point is achieved.
Since Bill Hindegardner bought IR 50/50 we hold him responsible for IR 50/50 problems. We have asked Bill on several occasions about when the records and rules will be updated. It is our understanding that you still have targets and the rule changes and Bill does not have to the records to correct or change them!
Bill told us at the Nationals that he will establish a new data base and move forward from the old records as they stand once this season is over in October if you have not made the correction and additions. That means that the accomplishment of a lot of shooters for at least the last 2 years will not be recognized and Hall of Fame points lost forever. How unfair this would be, especially to those participants and the rest of the Rim Fire community.
The last 2 years have been tough financially for us to travel and absorb the increase in cost of ammo. Look at the number of match participants. The number of participants has been declining and the rest of us hanging on!
We have been patient but I think you have to agree that that a time for patience has passed. What I am asking of you is that you make the corrections prior the end of October. If you cannot make the corrections, please forward the information to Bill Hindegardner and let him move us forward. To not do so is unfair to Bill and to us!
