Keep in mind, Col.Askins, these vitally essential competitorsmay want to "upset the applecart." Manydon't think the American course of/he hasserved us so favorably for this past threefourthsof a century, and can give you adozen reasons "why they want it 'disturbed'now." To attract the young, wemust offer them a recognized internationalsport. As for cops having to give upcombat for international, no, why do that?Shoot both. The duel fire of the InternationalCenter Fire Course and combatseem to be very compatible for mastershooters like E. W. Hilden of the BorderPatrol and others. The more difficult precisionand duel improve your combatscores, even though one is usually firedwith an automatic and one with a revolver.Ifyou shoot both combat and the ICF, youneed only two target guns, not the minimumof three needed for combat, Americanand International.Oops ... Col. Crossman, Women'sStandard Pistol is not the Center FireCourse with the .22. You're thinking ofLadies Small bore Pistol event. Standard isslow, timed and rapid, a match for menand women, but not always an ISU Championshipevent. We'll forgive you; unfortunatelymost people don't understandwhat we've won those gold medals ineither.American pistol shooters need small internationaltype matches held weekly andheld at night on indoor ranges. The NRAinternational type can be fired on Americanbullseye ranges with the same .22 andthe same combat revolver you have now.Buy an air pistol; you'll be acquiringone of the cheapest to shoot, and mostconvenient to shoot, training aids available.Scarcity of international shooting iscrippling its acceptance, not lack of rangesor equipment. The metallic silhouettesport requires new large ranges and newexpensive firearms, but it has grown soquickly because you can shoot so manymatches' International try-outs are plentiful,but young shooters must have the convenient,inexpensive, monthly club matchto acquire interest and training. Peoplewon't like what they can't try.
