I'm not convinced we need yet another group, but as a fairly dedicated
target shooter (smallbore rifle, UIT pistol and fullbore occasionally)
I would also like to see more discussion of pure, classic bullseye-style
shooting.  I have through e-mail attempted to make contacts with other
clubs, particularly university rifle clubs in the UK, with a view to setting
up postal matches with my local club if there was any interest, but with
no success.  Any interest out there?
