CSCA was originaly set up by Paul Laporte and Ricky Longtin. It was NOT in any way affiliated with ANY US org! They had most of the Canadian Championships at La Roue du Roy. Once some Ontario clubs joined, it alternated between Uxbridge and La Roue. There were also clubs in Quebec and in BC. It then the Championship went to Galt and Oshawa. The Ruffed Grouse guy from Hamilton had some visions of grandeur and was handed over the association. CSCA demise was very rapid after that. I don't run the outfit. There are now new people that have to learn the ropes. There are clubs that must be willing to be associated with a Canadian National organisation and not a regional or none at all. Unfortunately most Canadians are very regional: the West does not like the East, Ontario does not like Quebec, the Maritimes feel isolated, one group feels that they have the best targets and nobody has any better, another group thinks that tough (or stupid) targets are no good. It goes on and on. Sometimes the truth hirts but it is not to ostrasise. We are more devided than any other place on this earth! We all shoot clays. So why not put a little effort to make us visible to our elected officials and the rest of the shooting world. The 13 guys that put the effort this summer, showed that with our short shooting season, we still can put a fair showing in front of what the World has to offer.
Now, let's see if there are any takers!
