ATA camping; is it a rip off?

If you had a lease for camping at the WSRC for shoots; you will be getting your info from ATA, if you haven't already. This time around, the leases are higher, only good for the Grand; and you have less than a month to pay in full. You will now have to contact another organization to reserve camping for US Open and Fall Classic. You would think that at this time, in the present economy; the ATA would be considerate of the shooters they depend on for income; but instead they see the opportunity to fill their pockets and lighten yours. With gas prices going through the roof; cost of shells going up; and the ATA is charging more every year for shooting fees; this is no longer an amateur sport. I guess this is a good way to get the average shooter out of the sport. ATA you may find yourself with a payroll for employees and no income to pay them. Keep it up, but don't cry about the sport dying when you could have helped out the shooters instead of ripping them off.

or you can motel it like the rest of us, which really is cheap(grin). I am not sure who EVER said this was a cheap sport, been doing it for 30 plus years and have NEVER found it cheap. I just started going to the grand after it moved closer, i shoot less now due to son shooting, still cheaper than bass fishing!!I still find it the most fun you can have with your clothes on. I wish I could afford a camper and have a chance to stay on the grounds of the shoots I go to, but do whatever it takes. mark crist
