Non-profit ATA $28 million is for who?

So who is getting the $28 million the ATA is worth? Some of us thought a non-profit like the ATA would invest in the kids? Is the ATA still charging youths for targets? I know of clubs that give free targets to the youth.

The Executive Director is making over $200K. The EC gives themselves $17k guns.

 

Always had a problem with kids getting free targets. There should be a means test. A kid shooting a new P or K gun doesn't need a leg up; but a kid shooting a hand me down 1100 or a model 12 might need a leg up.

 

And how would you check this , with income tax returns ? Maybe someone’s grand father left them a nice gun and they need help paying for shooting it. I think all young shooters help the sport going forward . If they get started young even if they stop for awhile they come back.

 

Tax returns , same thing if you are applying for a college scholarship

 

The biggest issue with this forum is that the posters can't comprehend the subject of the post.

The poster mentions the ATA has $28 million. How is the ATA helping youth with that money? How are they helping trapshooting?

Don't non-profits need to spend their money to keep the non profit status.

 

Use the $28 million to lower the cost at big shoots such as the Grand

 

Or at least give better awards, make it more enticing to join the ATA.
