Most which were originated by local Fish and game clubs...we were all members of our local club but if it was an OPEN shoot and advertised...you didn't have to join that fish and game club that hosted it...or the next shoot by another fish and game club...
Just stated if its a club shoot ..fine...wasn't aware of the $5.00 entry fee etc...but if its a "open" advertised shoot...then all the hassle of getting that membership should be looked at and maybe a reasonable non member fee be looked at..
All the other advertised and open shoots in Alberta DONT require a membership to shoot or participate...
So no I have the same "position on the matter after"
I am sure it was well run and a lot of fun..as well as an awesome way to introduce new and existing members...I merely mentioned if it was to be an "open shoot" to attract more shooters...there may have been a better attendance if the membership was left "open" also...

Huh. Sure am glad it wasn't an "open" shoot.
