Been planning a shoot for july 1st, probably be lucky to have 14 shooters show up. The most we have had was 23, (last year) took us by surprize and had to do a bit of scrambling to have enough food at noon, when we were planning for around 15 at the most. Most people I have called are busy that weekend, a few put it on the calendar. There is 2 to 3 of us that try to put 2 shoots on a year, just doesn't seem to be the interest in our area. On the bright side, there is allso a few that won't miss our shoot. Because there is only 2-3 interested in putting a shoot on, we have made it pretty simple. We have 15 targets, charcoal on a sting, swinging pipe, swinging rabbit target, squirrel target that swings around a post, life size deer target with a tail that wags when hit in the vitals, pig that it's head will swing when hit in the vitals, knock down prairie dogs and such, each shooter has a score card and will score his own card. As you can tell this is not a blood and guts competition. We did try a shoot with paper targets and was just too much work for the 3 of us, scoring targets and all. We have put the word out to other clubs but they just don't show up, (yes we have been to their shoots). chuck
