The current climate of the shooting sports in MN
Posted: Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:08 am
I know there is a lot of members here who have an interest in the shooting sports, it doesn't matter what your favorite shooting discipline is. We're all in it together to further our favorite sport or training and shooting in general.
The topic was started on the mnuspsa forum http://mnuspsa.org/forum/index.php and topic http://mnuspsa.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2210 I think this is a great topic to generate ideas. This can be expanded to self defense training also, because I know for a fact the self defense training classes do pull in students from the shooting sports. This is not about which is better, it's about getting the word out about events and classes and helping people interested getting started. It also doesn't matter if the discussion is here, there or both.
The first question is how can resources be brought together to better inform the shooting public? Gun ranges, matches and trainers struggle with this. The club websites, the local forums, Bob Mills email list and Facebook are all good resources if you know about them. The most common thing I hear from new people is I didn't know about it or how do I find out about these things.
