Cartridge rifle and pistol shooting at 50M is going to be dropped from the Olympics.
No, that's not a final decision and the politics and procedures are complicated. Ultimately, though, this appears to be part of a long-range plan to eliminate all cartridge shooting (except perhaps shotgun). Once the rifles and pistols are neutered to "air only", the smart money is on a move to "lasers only".
In short, shooting at the Olympics is dying and this recent proposed change is a couple of big nails in the coffin.
If, however, you've ever taken even a passing bit of satisfaction in the fact that there is actually shooting at the Olympics, would you consider signing a petition to help keep them?
