Sporting Clays took over the club

I came across a talk board posting where once again someone was complaining that Sporting Clays shooters took over the club and there discipline was not being supported.

You could replace the word Sporting Clays and replace it with skeet or trap and see the same statement several times a year on various talk boards.

Sour grapes and not a fair statement!

I can almost guarantee a lack of skeet and/or trap volunteers is the main reason the skeet or trap programs are lacking and not because sporting clays shooters took over the club.

If a discipline has four or five volunteers willing to work shoots, the club has shoots, if not, no shoots or leagues!

Some clubs are heavy with skeet volunteers and some not, the same can be said about trap and sporting clays volunteers.

To expect a handful of volunteers to support all shoots for all disciplines held throughout the year is not realistic.

I have yet seen a member run club turn down a shoot or league if four or five volunteers stepped forward who were willing to do the work. They could hold any type of shoot they wish, registered or fun, no mater who was running the club.

If you can't get the people you shoot with weekly to volunteer there time to support a league or shoot, why should the other disciplines support you?
