Minister Dermot Ahern Outlines Handgun Ban

The Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform, Mr. Dermot Ahern has outlined new proposals to seriously curtail the licensing of handguns in the state. The full text of his announcement can be found here.

The NTSA has no further details on how exactly this new regime will be implemented, but wish to point to the following paragraph in the Minister's statement "The Minister is prepared to make very limited exceptions in relation to Olympic sports only." Until we have further information, we are advising our members not to initiate any license applications for the present.

The Minister has also specified that radical tightening of the procedures for licensing handguns will be adopted and we assume that these will also apply to our members when they are published. We will advise you should any further details become available.

WTSC Open 1 Results (first day)

Written by Mark Dennehy

Sunday, 10 October 2004

The results for the first day's shooting in WTSC for the WTSC Open... At the end of the first day, a good attendance with lots of Pony Club shooters turning up and shooting both standing matches and prone air rifle matches. Some initial photos are up already here.

The WTSC target scoring machine made an appearance for this match, with badly-behaving software, so each competitior's targets were automatically scored by computer. This system will be somewhat familiar to most air rifle shooters from last year.

This handy piece of equipment eliminates the usual hassle with having to have a single target scorer and his attendtant workload. Plus, the machine tracks where every shot lands, and produces group diagrams on summary sheets for each shooter. More on this tomorrow.

There are more shooting details tomorrow, starting at 1000. Hope to see you all there, and we'll put up the final results as soon as possible.
