You are absolutely correct but what will happen is that loop hole will be harder and harder for others to use as people would be taking advantage - and the federations will probably unfortunately have to make their rules for exemption even more strict -

I just say this if you are trying to obtain this way you should at least care about the sport and want to participate in it to not hurt future athlete later

It is just my personal two cents

I wouldn’t go as far as to call it a loophole, since it’s meant to give shooters an entry to participate in the sport? But I do agree with this.

Exemption process was relatively obscure less than a year ago. Now, with popularity increasing, I feel hopeful/excited but simultaneously weary that the process will become further standardized and strict

Hey yea I agree lack of a better word for loop hole-

I have acquired and used the exemption and participate in the sport and matches every 8 weeks - I just hope others do the same so that promising young athletes don't have a harder time.

Exactly my plan as well! Already stockpiling .22lr match ammo for our bullseye league at my club and hope to start competing this season
