    There are large shoots following the Grand American, such as the Cardinal Classic, and PSSA's Summer Championships, both within a week of completion of the Grand, and both with declining attendance. In PSSA's case it's gone from a 5 day shoot to just 3 days and squadding just 6 banks. I'm thinking that if the new ATA target year began when the Grand ended, it might boost attendance at those shoots. Now they're trying ti entice shooters with nicer/better prizes. Instead of winning another pickle dish, shooting in a new target year might bring in more shooters. Remember friends, we're in the business of selling targets, when you get right down to it.
