St. Louis Benchrest Club - JH Durkee - 10-07-2017
All BPCR shooters, Attention Please!, get the word out:
The St. Louis black powder cartridge rifle silhouette match director is Patrick O'Malley.
Attendance in St. Louis has been dwindling, and he's seeking your input from BPCRS competitors as to how that trend can be reversed.
Any input would be appreciated; failure to improve attendance will result in one less facility offering BPCRS competition.

I hope you guys can get some good feedback and get your attendance up. Would be a shame to loose another bpcr match to the blackgun people

I like to shoot at Benchrest but its on the same weekend as Effingham and I can shoot for 2 days there.

I have noticed at the local club, there is less interest in bpcr than in the past. There's never been many that owned them, but some folks liked the rifles and the smoke, and they always asked questions. I have let them fire my rifles, with my match loads and they were impressed with the accuracy.
Recently though, I noticed the same folks that were interested have all spent their $ on ARs, AKs and the like.
Its not just happening at stlbrc.
