I have been twice to Hungary to shoot both the sporting and compak. The grounds at Galgamacsa Shooting Ground are amazing with wild boar, deer and pheasants all over the place. It is an hour drive from Budapest. But if you pm me, I will give you the nicest hotel near the grounds. Budapest is a must to visit. The Hungarians are not there to make money at the event, they want to show national pride. Your goodie bag will have all sorts of stuff including wines and salami! Food at the range is cheap. Two large pieces of sausage, fries, sauerkraut and 1/2 Liter of beer war $5 CDN! Did I mention the terrain? It is all of rolling hills like in Italy this year. Let say mountains as they are over 900 ft. There will be plenty of displays by various manufacturers of guns, ammo and kit. You can have your shotgun serviced for free! Go to the www.fitasc.com website for info or pm me. I have already booked airfare and hotel. BTW, you must be a member of CNSCA and not NSCA to be able to attend.
 
Sir, could you please explain to me that while competing in FITASC in Europe that the shooter must be a member of CNSCA???
I was under the impression from other forums that the CNSCA was all but done, hanging on by a tread.....

Where do people get this misinformation. CNSCA is alive and well. Target growth from 2012 to 2016 went from 250,000 to 510,000. Registered events went from 27 in 2012 to 73 in 2016. One weekend during 2016 had 4 registered events to choose from.

A new web site is under development so the old one is not receiving the updates that would normally take place if that is what you are going by.

This is part of the on-going pissing match between CNSCA and NSCA in Canada. CNSCA is the FITASC licensee in Canada. Therefore no shoot in Canada can be called a FITASC shoot without CNSCA affiliation. Unaffiliated clubs hold shoots with the same targets, same layout, same rules but will call it "Super Sporting" instead of FITASC.

Conversely FITASC rules specify shooters from other countries must belong to the FITASC licencee in their home country.

"Conversely FITASC rules specify shooters from other countries must belong to the FITASC licencee in their home country."

Conversely what ? Both FITASC and the CNSCA rules say the same thing.

As far as the "ongoing pissing match", do you really think the NSCA cares a about few FITASC shoots in Canada ?

Conversely meaning when a Canadian is in another country like Hungary he must belong to CNSCA to shoot FITASC even if he already belongs to NSCA.

NSCA might not care but Canadian shooters should be curious why NSSA and ATA can seem to manage the border issues without the same degree of drama as the NSCA and CNSCA.

Because the CNSCA, a Canadian association is the Canadian FITASC affiliate. The NSCA, an American association is the US affililiate. Do you think American shooters would shoot FITASC under the CNSCA ?

The ATA and NSSA have been around forever and I guess the members in Canada were never given a better option. The Sporting shooters in Canada were.

Whether the CNSCA is a "better option" is certainly a debatable assertion. NSSA and ATA shooters don't need to pay double dues to shoot across the border and the exact same rules apply in both countries.
 
FITASC rules state that you have to be a member of YOUR country of residence federation/association and NOT a foreign country's association. People with dual citizenship can choose one but cannot switch later. Shoot a GP or World Cup FITASC event in the US or anywhere else, as a Canadian you must be a member of CNSCA. Simple, it is the rules. If planning a shooting vacation is Europe where mostly FITASC Compak and Sporting is shot, you have to be a member of CNSCA. There are also insurance requirements and CNSCA covers you.

You do not have to be a CNSCA member to shoot in Europe. You do have to be a CNSCA member to shoot a FITASC sanctioned event.

So, I guess I am really slow, what makes CNSCA better than NSCA which is used in the states?

CNSCA would claim it is better because the money stays in Canada. But if you want to shoot registered sporting clays in the U.S. you must be a member of NSCA. Trap and skeet meanwhile don't require dual membership for North America and your targets and classifications apply in both countries.
 
So Claybuster, in this case NSCA is better that one membership allows a shooter to benefit on both sides of the border, so classification would be the same while competing in North America along with any punches you may accumulate along the way.........

Not to mention the rules would be the same from border to border.

Sorry for all the questions I am just trying to educate myself on the two similar but different associations....

It depends on where you are shooting. A Canadian shooter who shoots often in the U.S. would be better off joining NSCA. A Canadian shooter who wants to shoot FITASC or in Europe would be better off in CNSCA. The easiest path is to join both and leave the petty squabbles to someone else.
