Badshah,

Just because they have a club does not mean they have a range... DSRA was formed in the late 80's but as of now has no range of its own! :shock: And this is the capital city we are talking about :evil:

Even the NRAI does not have a range of it's own. This December when I went to their office to buy some ammo I asked them if they planned to build one on the land allotted to them by the government (in Delhi). They replied, that land is for our office building... we may however build a 10m air gun range there though! Bureaucrats love their offices... shooting ranges are secondary for them! :evil:

Cheers!

Absolutely correct,Similer case with UPS**.
this is our only fight with dem in lucknow.
For eg. we had borrowed 2 trap machines from dem(the only help till date ,which were lying in store from years completly rusted)That too they took bak after few months.Saying -the machines are getting damaged due to exsesive use.lol,
But u ll find i good office with couple of senior citizens working there passing there time having tea ,cig.,pan.bcoz no work to do.
membership fee is increased to Rs 10,000/-.
the members opinion is -"Kam se Kam saal mai angrezi cartoose to mil jaate hain...."or for distributing it to relatives /friends,sum selling them at good premium.
We are survivng with a very dark future.Best part of it is the land which was alloted for range comes under irrigation ,& the lease agrement also expired couple of month back.Administration is not extending it,
i have heard UPSRA (Lucknow) have LP10s,BRNO .22 Rifles,Walther Pistols,barretta shotguns ,Hammerlee ,etc. But never seen them ,

Sorry if i have written any thing ofensive ,but it is the truth.

Badshah,
Bihar had the largest number of Rifle Clubs in India numbering 48 besides 4 District rifle Associations.But a large number of these clubs are not functioning.BIHAR STATE RIFLE ASSOCIATION was founded in 1968.

Abhijeet,
They even have the office building,Bihar is the only place in the country where state rifle associaton has no office building of its own.we were once provided land ,the Director-Genral of police inagurated it,but later settlement wes not made and we were dispossessed from the land,we are managing it from our members homes.Now we are in the process of purchasing a office in a multi story.

I would be most interested in joining Bihar State Rifle Association. In fact the following people will join.

Mr. Manish nand
Shahid Ahmad
Mr. Mehboob Ali Kaiser
Mr. Farooq Saluddin
Mr. Anil SIngh
Mr. Zubair Alam
Mr. Taukir Khan
Mr. M Rehman
Mr. Ashraf Imam

I'll ask these gentlemen to go and join at once.

We will enrol another 50 to 80 members immediately. Can we have more details and we would like to speak with Mr. Jalan immediately please. Can we get his phone / mobile number.

It is pure stupid of us. We were in power in Bihar for the last 10 years. Mr. Mehboob Ali Kaiser was the minister for Science & Technology. We should have taken over this club and revived it. Anyway, we will make amends now. Please get us the contact details. Which Digvijay Singh is this ? Any more details about him ? Does he still hold a post at NRAI ?

DG Police Bihar - implies Mr. Malhotra. He is a good shooter, keen sportsman and excellent hand loader himself. A good friend. So reviving this club should be no problem. The Government of Bihar will be made to allot land to us for this club and a range. We will take care of that.

Mr. Jalan has been traced. We are making arrangements to invite him for talks ans see how we organise a tournament and run the club in a more public manner where the entire society benefits.

Welcome Sumit Saheb. I will hold a dinner meeting for all IFG members and members of Bihar Rifle Association in Patna. I hope to be in Patna for a few days in the first week of April. A number of my shooter friends will also be invited to this roof top barbecue event. We will discuss and take down everyone's view points on how to take up things further in Bihar Rifle Association.
