RE: What do we need to do to get more money?
I agree with paying 20% of the field. I also agree that you shouldn't shoot just for the money. I shoot semi pro and I love to shoot but I do think if you have a good day you should more then pay for your travel. It gets expensive going to all the shoots. I don't think the problem is how much of the field gets paid but rather how much of the entry fee gets paid back out. I'm not 100% sure on this but I'm pretty sure that ASA gets less shooters then IBO but pays the same or better. To really get paybacks the sport need to find outside sponsors to kick in some money. Instead of getting these ripoff concession vendors have pepsi kick in some cash and set up at the shoots. There are so many companies that could add a little bit just like that but they're not envolved for whatever reasons.
