Frank, I totally agree with your comment about the NRA Board becoming more active than passive. And letting the 20% "tail" wag the 80% "dog" is mind-boggling. Yours is the kind of forward thinking that the NRA needs at the Board level. You have my full support.
Suppressors have been advertised as having recoil reduction capabilities. This is why I do not support this change. The high power sport should let you shoot what you bring but larger calibers with recoil reduction should not be allowed to compete against smaller calibers, in other words, if you can handle it at the shoulder, you can shoot whatever you wish.
My issue with the rule was the discussion that if it is not legal in all states, it should not be permitted. The NRA should be working to get suppressors off the NFA and made legal in all states.
I wish I could say I'm surprised by the antiquated attitudes of the members of the Hi Power Committee. However, I am not. Walt Walters belongs to the Asheville Rifle and Pistol Club which still is stuck in the 1950s with bans on suppressors and "humanoid" silhouette targets.

And the others are from restricted states so if they can’t nobody else should either……
Thank you Frank. Your crusade to fight for the rights of the membership (and not political pressure) is truly honorable.
Thank You!
