Just to be clear, I was not questioning the number of participants at this year's event. I am wondering how this wonderful event satisfies this organizations objectives of reaching out to youngsters everywhere when the pool of participants is so restricted geographically. Also, it seems a bit like preaching to the choir as these kids probably already have a mentor to guide them down the sxs path. It seems we need to address a broader spectrum of youth shooters and instigate a spark in them to try a sxs and learn of their part in shotgun history. By all means keep having this event but I am not sure it is actually fulfilling the objective discussed when we first talked about a youth program.
