The Fifty Caliber Shooters’ Policy Institute has been created to protect the rights of fifty caliber shooters and manufacturers. They are chartered as a non-profit organization and incorporated in the state of Nevada under tax codes that allow them to be directly involved in efforts to influence legislation that might be harmful to our sporting rights. They are involved.

The Policy Institute is run by several dedicated people who have one single purpose in mind;

Our sport has been demonized by several anti-gun legislators who are using the fifty caliber rifle as a means to take all firearms away from the American public. We have been portrayed as "A threat to National Security", and have been told there are no legitimate sporting uses of the .50 cal. BMG. We intend to turn that perception around and educate the American public as well as our legislators to exactly who we are.

They have been busy since May of 1999 when legislation was presented in the US House of Representatives that would seriously restrict the rights of fifty caliber shooters. Much has been accomplished, but we have a long way to go yet. They will use their web page as our means of keeping fifty caliber shooters appraised of events as they occur.

Another avenue of communication they will use is the Very High Power magazine, published by the Fifty Caliber Shooters’ Assn., Inc. (FCSA). We recommend that anyone involved in the sport of fifty caliber shooting bookmark their web page and the web page of FCSA at: www.fcsa.org and join FCSA. Print out an application and send it in. If you are an expired member, rejoin. If you have questions call (435) 527-9245 or (909) 653-5447 to get answers. We need the help of everyone together in the effort to turn this issue around.
