Throughout this year we have listened very carefully to your ideas and suggestions about how the NSRA needs to moderrnise. One of the most frequently mentioned topics is the need to renew and manage your Membership or Club Affiliation online. It is with great excitement we can announce our new Membership system will go live in early December and here is a taster of just some of the benefits you can expect. More information will follow shortly, including details of our new NSRA Rewards Scheme, so we look forward to improving our service to everybody associated with the NSRA. We believe this step is a turning point in how we communicate and work with our Members and Clubs and one you can start using straightaway for this year’s Renewal. We hope we have provided you with some positive news as this turbulent year draws to a close.

The NSRA wishes to apologise to all members for the following errors in the current annual report:
Shooting Council: John Buchanan is named as the observer for the Scottish SRA on the shooting council. We deeply regret any distress caused to Mr Buchanan’s family and friends by naming him in this role long after his passing. The SSRA also took part in the merger that formed Scottish Target Shooting more than two years ago.
International Committee: This committee has not met for several years since its role is largely fulfilled by British Shooting. We wish to thank all of those who supported this committee when it was active. As part of the modernisation of the NSRA the roles and structures of its committees will be reviewed in the near future.

Crossbow Update - No 1
Welcome to what is hoped will be a regular update from the world of NSRA Target Crossbow.
In the recent survey of shooting habits etc, 82 of you indicated that they took part in crossbow in some way or other. We would like to support this participation and increase our number by providing opportunities for you to take part in competitions and hopefully in the future take part in European and World events.
