Mike The Bear and Mike campbell,
The point I was trying to make is that the game, as it began, could not sustain itself. There is just not enough income to be had from hunters (I inject hunters as being most of the shooters who would WANT a low gun game, since they constantly compare it to bird hunting) wanting to shoot occasional rounds of sporting, to sharpen their bird shooting skills, to make owning and operating a sporting clays course profitable. If there's no profit, there will soon be no club. Then, where will the bird hunters go to shoot?
"Live and let live" should be the mantra here, not constant decrying of the premount by those who don't like it.
And yes, MTB, I guess I AM a proponent of the premount, just as much as I am a proponent of low gun. If you'll reread my post on page 1 you will see that I said I would not be upset if the NSCA eliminated premounting. As long as we all play by the same rules I flat don't care.
Is it just jealousy, on the part of low gun advocates, that Sporting evolved into a game where premount is allowed? If so, why? Again, "Live, and let live". Your third paragraph at the top of page 3, MTB, does not convey that attitude at all, but rather a belief that premount shooters should go somewhere and create their own sport. No excuse for premount, REALLY?
