Is it the USPSA or the steel challenge matches that are down?
Steel challenge is growing in the Terre haute area. 86 guns last weekend I believe. It seems to be growing. Uspsa seems to be stagnant.
When I started 30 was a good size match. A few years ago, some of the matches were occasionally 80+ and routinely 50 and 60+.
I'm guessing heat and family obligations. I know some that won't shoot Sunday due to church obligations.
As far as the stages, I liked a mix of technical and hosers. I'm shooting area 5 this year and I'm okay with it. However, I think that new shooter doesn't like the butt kicking the technical stages can be.
