I was trying to identify YRS's most endearing feature

Same jokes repeated year after rear (broomstick)

Inability to see that an IPad on every station have no financial value to sporting gun clubs but he keeps on beating it to death

Always chiming in about web sites at clubs, even though that was not what the OP was about?

What do you think?

I thought you had me on "ignore"? But you couldn't live without me, not many can

That may be true, but not many can live with you either

Hopefully things will be better, the experience wasnt great before and until you hire someone with gun club experience I have my doubts.
I'm not sure that you have a good grasp of the market. The attendance has been growing from the villages and new shooters in the area, but what you dont see is that the serious shooters ( guys who shoot 500-1000 targets a week) wont/dont come there because the target quality isn't there, the traps arent well maintained (empty,batteries dead, card readers broken,ect).
I feel that you need to reach out to your peers say quail creek, bradford,and south florida for advice. These places will help you and be happy to do it. I also believe you will need someone with experience to manage the club( I acknowledge that it will be hard to trust anyone after your first experience) but the young lady has no clue how run a gun club and your outside help are good workers but they have no experience either.
I also think that inside the state of florida your choice is very limited maybe only 1 or 2 people, so look outside the state, again ask for help Tim Miles, Rick Hemingway and others will help just ask.

I appreciate the extraordinary good will you put forward with your state shoot. I truly wish you good luck moving forward and hopefully you'll take advice this time

I’ve been looking at the Villages for a future retirement home. How many sporting clays courses are there within one hour drive or less?

In January 2017, the Holding Company of the Villages announced the purchase of 8,000 acres of land, south of Florida State Road 44 in and around the villages of Southern Oaks and Fenney.
