OK, so the dates are the same next year too. What a tragedy. I was told today that George Hopkins had a ten dollar five stand that some of my shooting buddies said was a great alternative to the "competition" events. Can we hear more about the bargain events at both venues? Some are apparently becoming weary of the trophy events and want to shoot some targets, volume targets, for less money. How about a multitude of five stands? Everyone likes cheap practice five stands. The PGCA guys are deserting the competition events at the Spring Southern to go to Drake's Landing. The writing is on the wall. No one is impressed with dollar birds for four days straight. I'm sure the vendors were a bit stressed about the thin crowds, too. I know vendors who left on Saturday from the events, a first in our "sport". Vendors, shooters, it's your move. Maybe one or more of the greedy promoters will get the message and begin to cooperate.
