The Pleasure was all mine! Glad to have anyone who likes too shoot anything. " Can't we all get along." IE Trap guy's and old timers. I think we can and do the best we can. We had a great turn out and a hoot of a time, best match this year. Thank's too all who came and support us. Keep your powder dry and your pecker wet.

What an insightful post - I think you really nailed it.

FWIW, I think we are seeing Ontario shift a bit away from clays and more towards the practical rifle and pistol.

We are in a transition from a trap only mindset to being able to hold other events as well. We still shoot trap on tuesday nights and the ocasional ata shoot, but without all shooting discipline's we probably would not survive. Seems like most guy's today want a safe place to shoot rifle and pistol. Not much support for clays anymore, I believe that generation is getting older and dont recruit new talent so that tradition is thinning out fast.Most of the good trap guys left our club over stupid little things, that i wont get into. All I can say is if you want something done to improve the club you must get involed to change it, Not wine like babys and then never show up again. I still like to bust some clays but Nothing compares to practical shooting. What a rush, If you never done it, you are denying yourself great pleasure.
