Keith,
That kind of thinking may be your answer to a fading number of shooters but I think that there are other things that will draw and retain more shooters. If you have checked the nnumbers at the club level and up your answer may be different. If moneypay back is theonly answer, Let every one shoot Pro that wants to win money and everyone else gets a trophy. When a class that has 51 shooters pays a first place check for $86.00 for a $45.00 entry , who was the big winner, not the shooters. It is time that the system get some close looks.
When a first time post is submitted with good intentions the least that this person deserves is some serious consideration and some respect.
