Well that may be fine for a club that you have been a member of for thirty-five years and show up several times a week; but for an event that one attends once a year and may miss a year or others may miss, where several hundred people new to you are, it is impractical to approach everyone in that manner.

On our Parker team I had to ask others who half the great winning shooters were as they were shooting. Often the answer was "I don't know." I shook their hands but did not know many names.

On not wearing a badge where you work, great. You've obviously never worked where identification badges are a requirement and refusal to wear results in discipline.

Oh and by the way, I live within fifteen miles of your PSC and I never joined due to that same attitude of several members I met. Don't take it personally.

E.O.M. and conversation. Just my opinions. I'd gladly wear a Parker badge at any event.
