Thread: Long range shooting course

Condensed - along the lines of this

"this event that I've been so good to organise and you're all keen for, its going to cost you $200 now"
what for?
"targets, my time, my accommodation, my flights, profit, $20ea for lunch, $40ea for prizes, $5 a rd for the ammo on the stage you shoot my gun, and $200 for the bottle of scotch I'll drink afterwards - oh and BTW you cant shoot most of your guns in calibres that are needed to get to the distances shot"
*crickets*
"fuck you all - its cancelled and I'm outahere- off for a cry"

Its not got anything to do with being able to afford it or not - I was ready to go, the flights alone were over $600 for me, and then a rental or hitching a ride
It wasnt a small profit, it was a big one.
Plain and simple... and if thats not how it went, then explain why everyone then decided to raise the middle digit to it and not go?
IIRC there was another shoot organised after that and held the same w/e for free with more attendees.
