    Can anybody take part in NTSA competitions or just NTSA affiliated club members can shoot on these events...?

    From what I remember (though I could be wrong, it's been quite a while now since I was on the NTSA committee), any of the Open matches are just that - anyone can shoot. But for the Nationals, you have to be an NTSA member (which is fair enough). Someone else might have more up-to-date information?

    What Sparks says is true.

    Most people have their NTSA affiliation through their club too. Usually the only people who are members of the NTSA directly are people who are members of clubs who aren't affiliated. I can't remember the exact pricing, but there's a point at which if you have X members in your club who want to be affiliated then it's worth affiliating the entire club instead.

    Yep -I just noticed on NTSA pages they have membership form for somebody who's club is not affiliated. Not expensive (compared to ICPSA ;)) so I'll probably join just for the fun of taking part in competitions ;)

    Cool. Be sure to come and say hi. I'm at pretty much all the smallbore competitions.

    Next Sunday East Coast have a shoot, though I haven't seen anything advertised about it anywhere.

    After that, the only shoots I know about are:
    • 12th May - 25yd Nationals in Rathdrum
    • 19th May - Co. Wicklow 50m Open in DRC (I heard from BR today and he said it's confirmed)
    • 2nd June - DURC 50m Open location TBC, probably Midlands, I'm currently checking their calendar to be sure.

    I already have shoots pencilled in for all the other weekends between now and the DURC Open, but none of them are in RoI I'm afraid. Plenty of nice shoots north of the border though.
