Why are so many people in the shooting sports lazy? I run a few matches at a small club. If I didn’t I’d have to travel over one hundred miles to go to a match. In a town of 30,000 I have about ten show up to a match. A couple are good shooters but most don’t practice at all. Also help at matches is very lacking. People may help set up and tear down but as far as actually running the match people are lazy. Resetting the targets or running the timer is done by a small few. Most just show up to shoot and watch. I enjoy shooting so I won’t stop putting on small simple matches but it is getting irritating. I also live in a place where there is a lot of “gun guys” but for the life of me I can’t seem to get them to a match. Everyone that comes seems to have fun and enjoy themselves. Then later talk about how fun it was. I even have a cash payout to the top three places.
