| Beginner conversion
When I started shooting in 2001, I was one of ten on the course. Two courses were run that year - and every year.
Of the 20 that attended, I am the only one that is still shooting. I shot for for two summers then work got in the way. When I re-joined this year I discovered that we had the same old faces, the only ones I didn't recognise were those attending the beginner courses.
I was told that we had so many beginners (30ish) this year that we had to invest in more trainer bows. From the courses run this year we now have two novices attending regularly, three more who made it to the indoor season appear to have sunk without trace.
What concerns me is the low take up rate, is this unique to our club or do any of your clubs have such a low turnaround ( for want of a better word).
