Hi everyone, I just joined a gun club and went to the first meeting. It was an interesting experience. Invariably any disscusion went off topic in about 5 minutes. It seems that most of the work is done by a few of the people but everybody has a gripe.
We are improving the range by building a firing line cover. I think the hardest part of it is getting a design that satisfies 100 people who complain and think that that is enough of a contribution on their part. I'm new and don't want to make any waves at least at first so I signed up for the building team and kept my mouth shut.
I felt an under current of politics in how the officers dealt with some of the topics and each other. How common is that? It's a small club what is there to get worked up about?
The club runs pistol shoots on the weekends. Do you think there would be a market for ones during the week in the daytime? It could be called a retiree's match or something.
What can I do to make my new membership more enjoyable all around?
Any good stories from your club?
