Well, my philosophy is I’d rather have 400 people even if they shot less. Those 400 guys are all going to buy a gun, buy a magazine, they’ll all buy shells. Even though you’re still only throwing the same amount of targets, 400 guys shooting a thousand or 40 guys shooting 10,000. Same amount of birds, whatever it is, but I think you’re better off with more people because If you lose ten percent a year, ten percent out of 40 you’re losing 4 now the next year you’re down to 36 and before long you’re down to nothing. But 40 out of 400 is not that many.
iTrapshooter.com: And with that 400 versus 40, you’re guaranteed to have a lot more fun.
Brad: Exactly, a lot more makes it fun.
iTrapshooter.com: So in essence, everything you really believe would also make the game a whole lot more fun for everybody.
Brad: Yes, it’s got to be fun. Whenever, I got grouchy and I quit having fun, I’d walk away from the sport and I wouldn’t shoot. In 2003, I was so mad about them moving to Sparta. I would dream about Vandalia. Years ago, I was always dreaming in every dream that I’d had about trapshooting, was at Vandalia at the Grand American.
“I feel an obligation to those who went before. I ate, I shot, I played cards with them. They don’t have a voice to say it anymore …”
