| From my clubs view, 2 years ago I introduced “Improvement Shoots”, they were basically rounds where beginners could come along and shoot in a competition scenario, but no medals and such were awards. For example we said Nationals rounds, so anyone could shoot any round they wanted, short, junior, national, long, it was up to them.
We then arranged it so a number of the clubs more experienced members would be on hand on these days to offer advice to the beginners. They would not be shooting, just walking up and down the line ready to help anyone who asked. The first one was a complete flop, the second we had 2 beginners, there after we didn’t see any but still had 12 fully paid up beginners in the club. |
