Sadly, effective promotion and advertising cost money. And time.

I wish Vintagers great success in future years. It was once THE SxS shooting event of the season...

John,
It's very true advertising is expensive, but there was very little internet chatter on the different gun boards, Fox, SS, 16ga, Upland J. etc that don't cost money but do cost time. I would love to see this shoot become what it use to be.

Advertising is expensive, but to miss advertising in the Summer Double Gun Journal is ridiculous.

Can they advertise or get the word out during or at the very end of the Spring Southern? (I don't know if that would be appropriate or not. May not be may be I am not the person to answer this or not)
