John is right. I watched his young cousin transform into a double gunner right before my eyes. Only one of the six shooters in the competition had much experience shooting a ScS. I thought about the April time factor as well and it really isn’t a deterrent. We go to karate tournaments all over the country. Hundreds, of school age kids from everywhere show up and frequently they only get 2 minutes or less of competition time. And it’s a WHOLE lot more expensive than going to the Southern. Bottom line is if the kids want to go and the parents see value they go and miss a day or two of school. Go to Disney World any day of the week and see how many kids are playing hookie. Our challenge to make this event more successful boils down to one thing - Effective Marketing.
