Op-ed, ARA sporta
CYA friends:
If you've never fired an IR-50 target with a 6 power scope, you've missed the most fun there is in RFBR score shooting.....
I went 30 years without doing it........man what a mistake by me, cause I've fallen in love with shooting the 6 power scope.
It's simply amazing how good you can shoot with a 6 power scope...
If.........................
You've got something to aim the 6 power at.

The ARA sporta class would be a major part of that organization today, I mean thriving...
If...........................
ARA would have done this:
First, simply incorporate the IR-50 rules for the gun, itself..........7 1/2 lb, 6 power scope, etc.....etc....
Why alienate an entire segment of big time RFBR by concocting a new set of sporta rules?
And then..........................
Simply make the ARA sporta target so a 6 power scope can be aimed at it...
No change in scoring......no change in the size of the ARA target.......just make it so you can see it with a 6 power scope.
So I did this:
And then here's the doodle.
If ARA would have follow this path, ARA sporta would be thriving today.......big time......
Cause shooting the 6 power scope is such fun.......I wasted 30 years not doing it...
Now I'm hooked.....
Your friend, Bill Calfee

It blows my mind how well one can shoot with a 6 power scope.....
Man, it is such a joy....
