So Cat over the years you have kept an eye on things.
Do you see the trend increasing?
Often I wonder why Cowboy Action style shooting is not more popular in Canada.
Any comments here?
Stuff like this goes in waves , but the people who are core are a constant denominator. you need a catalyst, and if someone does not step up, it does not get organized.
I remember one fella at our club commenting once that the black powder shooters were ative again, and I simply stated that some of us never stopped being active with BP, we just did not compete anymore!
Once when I dropped in at our rendezvous, I was greeted as a pilgrim by some guy selling a powder horn I wanted , until his father came up and it was like old him week!
Local interest is what sparks stuff, at one time or club had a monster trap and skeet following, with members winning provincial, national, and world titles - now, we are simply Sunday shooters it seems except for the odd fella that goes south fpor sporting clays, etc.
For a few years it was silhouete, and small bore, IPSC, etc.
The BP club is not very active except for once a year now, and last year they cancxelled because the major players went Stateside for a rendezvous.
I don't see it getting any bigger up here than it is, simply because some of the orginziers are gone from town - tha should not stop someone from shootng their muzzle loader however - it never stopped myyself nor my son!!
