Biggest difference is a trap club has little to no overhead compared to a sporting club. Most of that $.30/target is for expenses and very little left for profit. Even at $1/target for bigger shoots, that $$ is quickly used up in added expenses (more range help, trappers,trophies,added course and office supplies that are event specific, etc,etc).

That club throws targets at $4 a round for non members so I would say they had a $5 profit per person . Last year they gave metal trophies this year they gave hats and t shirts . So they didn't loose anything .

Also the VTA owns over half of the stock in this club so there is no mark up for the club that they shoot at .

Yes I think I remember him saying he talked to you the day before or so . Another fellow from your area went with us . This man knew you and is a Winchester 21 fellow . Terry but I don't remember his last name sorry to say . He had recently acquired a Sterlingworth 12 with 32" pipes and the triggers were backwards , think he said he had showed you that gun as well .
