Attendance is dropping off at skeet. It seems if we have an event they come out of the woodwork and then go back there. Looking for ideas to genreate and sustain activity at the club

Close the local 5-stands and sporting courses. The newbies overwhelming choose those if they are available.JerseyJim said:Attendance is dropping off at skeet.

Whether trap, skeet, 5-stand or sporting, the key is to make it fun for everyone of all abilities. I used to be a BOD at a local club out West. We ran a fun league for 6 weeks at a time. Everyone was handicapped to ability. It was 50 targets every Thursday evening and we incorporated every discipline - trap, skeet 5-stand and even a small 25 target sporting overlay.JerseyJim said:Attendance is dropping off at skeet.

Umm...how shall I put this...hold consistently for a "regular" (the rule-book term) target and when it appears - here's the important part - it's okay to move the gun.wasthestumper said:...you're never really sure where you should hold for H1 and L7.
Whoa, common sense rears its' head in the most unexpected places.Ulysses said:...If the machines throw the targets at the right speed (which I assume is mainly a function of having the right spring in the machine) and throws the targets through the hoop, what else is there to throwing "good" targets?
No, you didn't. The rule-book definition of a "regular" target is clear and concise at only 90 words. Wasthestumper's post, at 347 words, is rambling, misleading, and sometimes just plain silly (...potentially legal but not "good").blackandgold said:I honestly didn't know you could have hard or easy skeet targets. I figured they are either legal targets or not legal targets. Shows how much I know. Learned something new today.
