There have been a number of discussions from time to time on other boards about what, in the opinion of skeet participants, consitutes a good...successful... enjoyable... shoot. Things like good food, prizes, lower entry fees, better payouts, good targets, good referees etc etc.
Since virtually all of these discussions have been amongst American shooters south of the border, I'm curious to know exactly what Canadian shooters want and would like to see at shoots they attend. I don't particularly care what happens down in Tallahasee Florida....or "Armpit" Oklahoma. But I am interested in what we who from time to time are involved in putting on a shoot can do to improve things in hopes of attracting more participants and making their visits to our clubs as enjoyable and worthwhile as we can.
I suspect most of us want basically the same things. But I'd be interested in hearing the opinions of others who shoot registered skeet. I guess this is a little bit of an informal survey sort of but I think it might be worthwhile to solicit ideas and suggestions that perhaps we can all use when we organize an event in the future.
As things stand right now, with all of the expenses that are incurred, shooting registered skeet is not a cheap passtime. What sorts of things would make you feel like you're getting the most "bang for the buck"? What should be included? What could be done away with? What makes you want to attend a shoot....or avoid a shoot?
