ruby2red Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 My wife and I are both Life Members of the CPSA and normally we get our Pull Magazine in the last week of the month. Our July edition is now ten days overdue. Has anyone else had the same problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azzurri Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Straight to the fixtures page for me...the rest of it is just a waste of paper. And as for the cpsa, I just wish we had an alternative... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denniswebb Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 It has slightly improved since its last manifestation, the problem is always going to be an organisation run by people who are look at this as just another job, non performanace related, and not having to get the product on the shelves, if it was stacked up against other publications it would sink without trace, but this is the CPSA....i suppose it cost us around £200,000 per year to publish it probably ain't bad for that....We need to get Bourne Publishing back doing the mag, Mike Barnes was a true clayshooter and a great publisher.

Salopian Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Right, so the Pull Magazine is a total waste of paper? I can shoot registered competitions without being in the CPSA. I can get insurance from the NGO cheaper. SO WHAT IS THE POINT OF BEING A MEMBER OF THE CPSA?????? :no: :no: :no: :no: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denniswebb Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 The CPSA despite its flaws is a members organisation, its basically our own making, the apathy in the sport reflects in the organisations performance, there is no worse member of this orgaisation than sporting shooters, i know England ex team members who are no longer in the organisation, they still shoot clays. The dangers that await us as shooters are emense without a strong governing body we will not last another 10 years, its the same for BASC. The restriction on guns will be so severe that only the passive members of the sport will remain we will be wittled down to so few that no one will notice our demise. The CPSA should be a 100,000 strong, but it wallows around the the 20 odd. I know to my cost the short time that is left....I really don't expect to have a gun licence in the next few years. So what is the point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always check the "paid for" classified ads at the back. Free fixtures are only a guide. They have to go in so far in advance that sometimes changes to events cannot be made only via the classified advert. I've been caught out. So much for computerisation = not so up to date!
