Vintage Gunners Cup 2024?

Last year I was involved with the VGC and I strongly suggested that they attend either Ernie's or Mike's shoot and pick their brains to get an idea of what they would need to do to have a successful shoot. We all know how that came out don't we?

I asked why, and they said Rock Mountain & Hausemann's were too far out in the ''Sticks'', for the people to come to. the place they held it at last, was a complete disaster. Their words, not my. I wasn't at it.

When it was at Sandanona years ago that was pretty much in the sticks. But it was run properly and very successful. If they do a good job people will come but that's asking a lot. Don't ask me why they can't see the benefit of having it at Pintail Point where is was for a couple years. Centrally located, plenty of lodging and restaurants within easy driving. As they say it's a no brainer.

Sticks? WOW!! We’re 20 minutes from two County Seats as well as 20 minutes or less to plenty of lodging. Just like NSCA shooters don’t support PA clubs and cut their nose off to spite their face, clubs here just stopped throwing registered. There are only so many ranges willing and/or able to host a multi-day SxS event with all the various shooting events thrown in. We have 35 events at ours plus special pricing for those just “shooting for fun”. Not many ranges can do what we do. Complainers gotta complain.

You're preaching to the choir here buddy.
