paBob what I'm asking you is how about giving us some facts/numbers on the shoot. Down 80 entries is pretty bad if they had 85 last year, facts and numbers please then we can answer your question.
The Connecticut state shoot was going on the same time as the Westy Hogans this year... A lot of the shooters that shot the Connecticut State Shoot would have been down in Pennsylvania had they not been scheduled at the same exact weekend..... Makes a difference on the attendance numbers.
Looks like some good payouts too. Dave Shaeffer hasn’t forgotten how to shoot. Dave’s 98 in Sunday’s cap earned him a nice check (by today’s standards). Good payouts get noticed and will attract more shooters in the future. Nice job by all involved in making this shoot happen!
