How to draw shooters? Put a row of 10 3" clays at 25 yards and count how many shots it takes the person to hit them all.
Yeah I know so far off base it's ridiculous; but that's the point.
It's why the weekly Trap meets at my gun club draw 75+ people every week but the sporting rifle match I run, draws 10, and the F-Class and Benchrest event draws 2 or 3 live bodies.

We're a "fast food generation". Our previous generation was an "I'm OK with preparing dinner 8 hours early in a crock pot" generation.
The current generation has the sum expanse of human knowledge on the internet at their fingertips so learning and remembering aren't really necessary. Putting time in for a reward doesn't make sense anymore, to the new generation. The last generation, if you wanted to know something, you best read, and REMEMBER it because you couldn't just pull your phone out of your pocket and get the answer to any question on the planet in any field, in 3 seconds or less.
There's very few shooters that ever use the 25 yard bank on our pistol range. I'm one of the few who does, because, frankly 7 and 10 yards just don't do anything for me anymore, and the plywood backing is always in superior shape to the swiss-cheese-head-sized-holes in the plywood on the shorter range berms, so it's easier to staple up my targets.
Patience.
You're fighting to keep a sport alive which involves patience in a world that has NONE.
I don't think it's possible, at least, nowhere near the numbers that the last generation drew.
