[QUOTE="Broz, post: 1287943, member: 7503"] THEIS, I hear and understand your concerns. I even agree with you to a point, but I do feel you might not be understanding all of what is actually going on. For one, I have not seen any entity trying to control anything. Decisions or suggestions have been based on a large group from the ELR world. Not any controlling entity. I have however seen a group of entities coming together in the name of ELR to better define and set suggestions as to what direction it may go. Key words here would be suggestions, or better yet maybe guidelines.

How else can we measure success or advancement if there are several different sets of criteria for matches and records. No one is going to dictate here. We all have the choice to keep doing our own thing, or do what our group chooses. I may continue to be the loner out shooting ELR and only compete in one or two matches. But , at least I will have some standard guidelines to measure my success to others while I practice. And, if I feel I have a worthy skill set go to a record setting event.
