    You can't blame it on the weather. I shot yesterday. Good targets on our bank.

    People are waiting for the main event. THEN you will see a really big turnout.
    All the Midwest shooters and people that thought Vandalia was too far before the move will show up and the place will be packed. The main event will have 3500-4000 entries like it does every year.

    Oh wait, I forgot, they NEVER had those kind of numbers.
