Well as I said yesterday I gave up my Volunteer Position as a R/O at the local Shooting Range after 8 years,and I do not know how many hours of time. but one year I know I put in over 300 hours as I got a Chinese Knife as a thank your for service.
Part of the reason I said no more was the Politics, and NEW RANGE MANAGER who IMHO don’t care about the Volunteers no more.
Several year ago Don Turner Retired from AZ Game, and fish, and a NEW MANAGER was hired to replace Don.
Don always did Volunteer things like dinners, Awards, gift certificates, etc. to say thank you the New Guy doesn’t do much. Intact he called for some Mandatory Inservice in the evening, promised a “DINNER”, and forgot the “FOOD”, or to call the Pizza Delivery Guy. :cursing:
The NRA got the last of my MONEY, as it seem they have become too much about “Lobbying” to Fight the Anti Gunners, and not much about promoting Shooting Sports. Bet when Wayne LePEEPEE Retires who will go out with a big bunch of $$$ :bull:
The NMLRA from where I sit,, and have had personal dealing with the BOD don’t seem to be doing much to Promote muzzleloading, as their Focus is on Friendship Events, and ask for money for this or that pet project. :surrender:
So I think we all who enjoy shooting should shoot, and have fun, and forget the National Organization.
If you have a Local Shooting Club that is SHOOTING FOCUSED, and not Political, shoot with that group if they are fun orientated. :hatsoff:
