I agree with that one as well Mike, but understand Vu's point in putting this in the rules.
If you want to flush out the gamers and identify the shooters, you'd have to drop back to the old days of issuing the rifles and the ammo, later to issuing the ammo only. Those days are gone.
Now, if you could have a quasi-government organization provide equally prepared M40s or M24s and M118LR ammo for no or minimal cost, that would be nice, for a FPR type of match on a KD range. Seems politics has changed though, so the idea of the government fostering a well trained civilian populace at long range shooting is not in the cards.
Maybe we should get the CMP involved Vu and not involve the NRA. Now that they are out of M1s, they are looking for ways to grow their appeal and base.
Something to think about.
Oh and LL if you come to one of my matches, I'll introduce you as my mutant distant 3rd cousin visiting from out of town so that no-one recognizes you and distracts you by treating you as the celebrity you are (Lady Gaga's vibrator). Justin Timberlake seemed to handle it pretty well. Maybe you can take some ques from him.
