League shooting is the livelihood of any gun club, be it a vast
layout in a major metropolitan area,or a small club in a community of 2,000
people.
Recruiting shooters for your leagues is a simple and fun way to promote your
club. One potential source is the industrial plants in your area. Making calls
to the public relations director at thesesites can be very rewarding.
Learn to shoot programs, at various times during the year, can be another way of
attracting potential shooters to the club.
A must for league coordination is constant contact with media. A short column in
the local newspaper will catch a lot of eyes. Arrange to make guest speaking
engagements with local civic group and other local organizations.
When organizing your league, be sure to run it as a team league. Individuals who
excel should be recognized as well. Keep the cost at a modest rate, keep scores
and team standings up-to-date on a scoreboard in the clubhouse.
There are numerous types of fun shooting games. Fun shooting gives a gun club a
constant flow of income and generates an atmosphere of belonging.
Fun shoots are for people of all ages where skill is not of the importance. It
is not necessary that expensive prizes be awarded. These shoots on a regular
scheduled basis will lead to a successful and happy membership. The games are
simple and limited only to the imagination of the organizer and the safety of
all involved.
Introducing families to a variety of games will bring out the crowds and whet
the appetites of shotgunners for more clay target sport and fun shooting.
Membership within a club with an active league and fun shooting program makes
one feel that membership dues are well spent dollars.
