Low attendance expected at Vintage Cup?

[Ed Blake]

Previous Vintagers management did a far better job of marketing the event when it was at Pintail Point. Those were great events and it didn’t hurt that it was a bull market for SxSs.

Most vendors, especially the gun vendors, want to know what non-shooting foot traffic they will be expecting. For the most part, we can't predict that. No matter what advertising is done, we can't say there will be X number of shoppers. We can fairly accurately predict how many shooters will attend and some of them are definitely shoppers too. Our event has grown (numbers of shooters and total events shot) over the 4 years. We plan on growing even more. Every shoot seems to have vendors that can't come after they have said they would. Various reasons, but it happens. The collector associations are always a plus when their presence is enjoyed in the vendor area. In the end, throw good targets and have good food and shooters will be happy. If the weather cooperates then the results are even better. Onward and upward lads!!
