Able, thanks for posting notices of shooting events. You are performing a very useful and desirable thing for us here at IFG.

Ill admit, sometimes here, being thanked is not always the practice, I'm sorry to say. But your notifying us of these events is a great thing. Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words, @timmy

@GVS, I know right. Even though election is just around the corner it's great to see shooting competition organised (considering the stigma involving guns).

One thing I forgot to mention is that shooters who had represented the states in shooting are not allowed to participate in their respective disciplines. Thus, giving a chance to new aspiring shooters. This is done to engage and encourage new shooters.
