When I lived out West, sporting clays and 5-stand were starting to come into their own - the local club was made up of mostly trap and skeet folks who did not want to give up one of their fields to this "new" game. We fought, got the 5-stand put in, then a sporting clays area. Over the next 10-15 years, the club was throwing over 300,000 sporting clays targets and ab out 100,000 trap/skeet.
Then the board of directors shifted yet again and the trap/skeet guys took over, ousted the manager who made the growth possible and said they only cared about trap and skeet - the other was too much "bother". I hate to think what might be happening to what was once a nice local club with attitudes like that.........
