USA Clay Target League 50,000 active shooters! ATA can't get 1700 at the Grand American Handicap!

I just came across this stat. If you don't believe me do your own research.

That would be more effort made than our current Executive Committee. This shows how absolutely inept the ATA is.

You can give that BS excuse that the parents stop giving the kids money when they graduate. Big whoop! There are 50,000 shooters that could compete at the grand now! The parents and kids are not interested in what was the greatest trapshooting event.

They don't like the product. Don't like the venue.

Trapshooting isn't dead. Look at the leadership of the ATA. The delegates don't have a plan. The meetings don't even have roll call votes.

This isn't even the only youth league. There is the SCTP and others.

50,000!!!!

 

We have youths shooting at our club. No one even mentions registered shooting. Some days as many youths as adults. That's what is important right!

 

Back in the day Newcomerstown didn't charge youths for targets. Not sure about now.

 

From their website......

 

Our State Shoot is empty when the youth leave!

 

The EC of the ATA thinks these kids would rather shoot for All American points instead of money, or cars, or gold, or silver, and they wonder why none of these young men and women move on to the ATA. Who would have guessed.

 

Congratulations to the Clay Target League. It doesn't matter that the ATA fails. Shotgun sports do not revolve around the ATA.

 

Only goes to show how clueless the EC is!
