How can the NBRSA assist you in making your matches more successful?
I do not know an answer to this specifically, but in my opinion we (NBRSA) need to focus and move forward as much as possible to recruit new shooters. The Benchrest disciplines are not easy for a new shooter to get into without someone(s) pulling them in from the inside.
