    The SCTP cares enough about their competitors to put out a good product. The SCTP doesn't offer big money but there are scholarships and guns to be won. The SCTP has a fun championship venue. And it is nearly overwhelmed.

    ATA big money and a great venue was thrown under the bus with Vandalia.

    I would guess there is at least three non shooters for every competitor at the National Championships. The SCTP isn't sitting on $27 million dollars.

    The guns fly off the shelves. The family is involved. Little siblings want to shoot like big brother or sister. The SCTP is a spectator sport.

    Have you seen the old pictures of people watching shoot-offs at Vandalia? There were people on the roof tops. There is around 500 shooters at the SCTP miss and out. The bleachers are full with hundreds more standing. The line of shooters is a 1/4 mile long. How many is that?

    How did the SCTP make trapshooting a spectator sport again?

    How did the ATA kill it?

    I will be taking pictures of the kids shooting again in a few months. If you doubt the enthusiasm in youth shooting please see the pictures section of the forum.

    More enthusiasm coming soon.
