Title: World Championshhip Still Target Shoot
Post by: allaboutshooting on September 26, 2019, 10:31:46 PM
The NWTF will no longer support the World Championship Still Target Shoot. No shoot this year or for for the foreseeable future.

Thanks,
Clark

Kind of turning their back on members here I think.  That shoot gave companies incentives and an outlet to introduce new products and loads.  The NWTF should re-think this decision.

New regime in Edgefield. I first joined in 1978. Done with the NWTF.. not the organization it once was.

It's a big expenditure for the federation so I can understand that for some reason they have some other use for the funds

perhaps gather more sponsors and raise the entrance fees and possibly next year make it happen

, with that said years and years ago it was a bigger deal and winning the competition equals huge sales ,  after market choke tubes were not as common 15 years ago as today and now it seems that there is a plethora of premium,  custom and hand loaded performance ammo, so things have changed

Hope they bring it back next year

I was planing to renew my membership this week and get one of my nephews entered in the Jakes program, now I am rethinking renewing but I will still get him the Jakes Membership because I said I would.

I can understand what some of you are saying about it being different now, I was a member up until my accident in 2001 and then not again until I started  being able to hunt again a few years ago, and I still have some of the old magazines and you can see a big difference in the way things are being done. Not that I was a big fan of their magazine anyway, I always preferred Turkey & Turkey Hunter which is why I am so sad they are gone. Used to go to the biology section first off whenever a new issues was delivered.

I agree with Greg, support everything outdoors whether verbal or with monetary support.
