Hello All
I just have a quick question on 3-D shoot attendance.
We are a Bowhunter club that has been putting on tournaments for a long time, 20 years ago we had on average 200 archers at our tournaments. Now we are lucky to pull in 50 to 60.
My question is: Is it a regional problem, we are in SW Iowa, and the 3 clubs in our area are all struggling to get shooters. Or is it just a participation issue, just not a lot of folks doing it anymore?
I know the whole "everyone is busy"," kids have hobbies" and so on mantras.
We went from a 40 target course to a 30 target course trying to make it a shorter amount of time for the shooters convenience, with really no noticeable increase or decrease.
Welcome any thoughts.
Thanks
And No there isn't a P/Y buck behind every tree here in Iowa !
