[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 1022181, member: 1132"] That's not entirely correct. We had our share of damage due to jerks shooting stuff they shouldn't have, but no more than the club as a whole. What we had was constant issues with mud, poor berms due to erosion and not quite enough shooting bay space. Almost all efforts to get improvements for several years went unheeded by the board, despite our programs being otherwise self-sufficient and turning a profit overall for the club. We helped provide stuff to shoot at for the general membership but didn't get much in return. When the last two match directors grew weary of running the programs without much support, they didn't find willing replacements because no one wanted to put up with the same lack of support that ran all the way back to before 2000 with Shawn Thornton running Action Pistol steel matches (where most of the steel racks enjoyed by the general membership came from). I don't believe our programs were ever understood by the board and not much effort was made to try. We were just the red headed step children that were tolerated, not encouraged. :( But that's ok, because IDPA and IPSC found a welcoming and supportive home at the United States Shooting Academy! :) [/QUOTE]
