IPSC in the Netherlands to be banned

As many of you have heard already, IPSC shooting (in fact all Dynamic  shooting disciplines) are about to be prohibited in the Netherlands!  This new law will be voted on in a matter of weeks, and if it passes it  will mean the end of our sport in Holland, and who knows ? this decision may well spread quickly across the EU.

As you can imagine, the NPSA (the Dutch IPSC organization) is  mobilizing every possible resource to fight this unjust proposed law,  but it is a desperate battle. The odds are stacked against us.

We need your help!

There is a petition being signed (online) which will be submitted along with other material as we try to make our case for our sport.
You can help by going online and signing this petition. The more signatures we have, the better.
Please also take a moment to forward this email to anyone you can think of who could generate more signatures, your shooting range, your club,  your federation, your local gunsmiths who may be able to send it on to  their mailing list. Post it online on any website you have access to.
We want to show that IPSC is a serious sport, with thousands of participants worldwide.

As you will all be aware there were a few changes to the IPSC Rule Book at the last General Assembly, one of these changes was the introduction of Classic Division and the removal of Modified.

The addition of Classic Division has now come into effect as such could be recognised at your next match and in order to support Classic the following changes to the current IPSC Australia grading system are now in place.

Interim Grading for Classic Division

If you enter a match in Classic Division:

· and currently have a grade in either Standard or Production Division, you will be graded for Classic Division according to the highest grade in either Division.

· If you hold a Grand Master Grade in either Standard or Production Division, you will be graded as Master Grade in Classic Division.

· You will retain this grade unless you achieve a higher grade in a match recognised for grading purposes.

· If you do not have a grade in either Standard or Production Division, you will be ungraded in Classic Division until you achieve a grade in a match recognised for grading purposes.

This ruling will apply for until 31 December 2012.
