I received a petition today regarding an ISSF rule change.

Please look it over, it is one paragraph long, and let your opinion be known. This would effect shooting in the USA as well.

Link not working you need to remove the known. off the end of the link then it works.

Edit:- Link Fixed.

This is interesting I was watching some of the London2012 shooting earlier and was thinking they should maybe zero the scores.
I am not 100% sure about this yet but I think the ISSF are possibly right on this. Something needs to be done to make the sport more attractive to spectators and for TV etc that's just the way of the world these days. If something isn't done how much longer will shooting be in the Olympics?

Just my thoughts and opinions.

Hopefully the link has been corrected and will now work.

I happen to agree with the petition. I think the shooters who started it explained it as well as it can be explained.

Afterall, the event is 3 position.

What I don't agree with is the final being standing position only. The final should be 10 shots at each position.
I am ok with the zeroing of the scores. The more I look at the results from London 2012 the more I feel it would have made the event better for TV and spectators and in doing that made the sport better as a whole.

I can agree with you, but rather than offering alternative ideas, I want others to read the actual petition and act upon it.
