Go to a local gun dealer and see if he will donate a rifle or shotgun (scoped rifles really sell tickets around here) or at least give you a good price break.

Sounds like a plan...........thanks.

As far as the old timers in your group, they are just reacting to the realization that they are on the downhill slide and ain't liking it too much....but they are smart enough to allow new members. I'd just butter them up and let them know their value to the club, seek their advice often, and look to the future. You have something there that many aren't fortunate to have. Ray

I'd say that is pretty much dead accurate. I hope I didn't give the wrong impression and make it sound like these guys are holding us back because they may be stuck in their ways but they brought us in for just that reason and their blood, sweat, and tears over the last 30 years got this place to where it is today.............now we want to take it to the next level FOR them........not in spite of them.

Atlas, I have two thoughts on this ...

#1 - If your club is not allowing non-club members to come and shoot for a fee, there is one possible avenue for $ ... charge $5.00 an hour. This might require you guys to expand your range or upgrade it a bit.

I probably should have set the stage a little better..........we have a nice cabin on 15 acres of property with a shed built in the back.........that's about it. There is no range, there are no frills and the location is not what I would consider ideal for a 3D shoot. I think the shoot idea is a good one but just not for us at this time.
