Prizes

[Don McDowell]

Back in 07 or there about, Shiloh and Goex were going to sponsor a creedmoor match on Kenny's traditional steel targets. Entry fee was 100$ and there was some serious prize money being offered. They had to cancel it because there was only about 3 or 4 shooters that signed up.
There are a bunch of bpcr matches that aren't being held anymore because the attendance is down so far the clubs have trouble justifying tying up the range for a weekend for 20-30 shooters or less, when they've got several times that many wanting to run their black guns. There are a lot of handgun silhouette matches that are gone now too. Folks mostly want to show up bang on some steel targets and leave.
I'm hoping the new management in NRA competitions will do more to promote the various bpcr venues, but if folks don't show up it's pretty hard for them to justify it.
