Great work on the Match schedule.  You need to be the "Fly" delegate at the AGM next Easter. At the moment the state BR delegates are supposed to be representing their Fly members but most of them don't know anything about the Fly. How much of the BR rulebook do we have to adhere to for the first 3 years ?

My reason for the question is that in the BR rulebook, ranges have to be registered before their matches can be registered. This means that a state delegate is supposed to inspect the range to make sure it meets all the guidelines in the rulebook. The main item is that the distance is what they say it is eg 500m ( and the Fly interim rules gives an allowance of +/- 2%). Often all that is required is a surveyors certificate stating the distance from the front of the benches to the target line.
Because the Fly shoot up til now has never needed these checks, none of the ranges listed on the match schedule are registered (officially).
This also affects the legitimacy  of any records shot.
I welcome any input from all the shooters as to what we could suggest.
