Guys,

Please note, that snap caps are PROHIBITED at Bisley, this following an incident when an idiot loaded a live round thinking it was a snap cap!!

Another rule they haven’t a hope in hell of controlling.

Agree, why deal with the idiot when you can impose a restriction on all! Its even more stupid when you consider that  one should only dry fire in a situation and direction where its safe to shoot!

Our event, 300 m, an international event, for which there is an NRA championship, under ISSF rules has a 15 min set up and dry fire period in which you can aim and dry fire, our discipline rep has argued,  but no, that's now the NRA rule! You can dry fire, just no snap caps!

Genuine snap caps are brightly coloured and obvious, and home made ones I've seen with a seated bullet, have holes drilled across the case, so obvious.

Well publicised (not!) as this decision was end of last year!

Perhaps they should have an IQ test for the SCC with a requirement for IQ to exceed your shoe size.

Have Fun

Oh yes they can, We as R/O's look for snap caps on the firing point and if in a competition such as the imperial it could get you removed from the line.
