Our local club only has 25yd and 5o yd range. But we are going to try the 30yd table shoot and maybe 50 yd RB bench this year. Have your club thought about chunk shooting?

At Fort Osage we have 25, 50, and 100 over the hill at Pioneer we can shoot out to 200. The Chunk gun shooting has never done well at Fort Osage probably because the people running the club in the past just didn't want to do it. Not far from us about 100 miles there is a big Chunk gun shoot every year that the Bevel brothers put on and it draws quite a crowd as I understand. I 've never been there.

We just have elected a new president and a couple of new officers and
hopefully there will some changes in the shooting matches. But changes come slowly it takes a lot of convincing to get some people to try something different. It's kind of a Catch 22 a lot of people say they want to try to draw in some new shooters but then don't want to change anything to attract them and the old stuff seems to have run out of steam? The only thing that you can do is try and that's were we are at right now.
