high standard 40,
Thanks for sharing with us the results to your inquiry. I believe what you found out will be true in a very high majority of the areas in the USA. We can, however learn a lot from your research and do what we can to keep IHMSA alive.
1) We can and must do a better job of communicating within the IHMSA ranks. This means from the president down and the shooters up, we can do a better job of 'advertising' our sport if we are all better informed.
2) We can and must come up with a 'marketing/advertising' plan that is implemented and utilized throughout the USA. Too many people, myself included up to three years ago, know very little if anything about our sport.
3) We can and must become better 'sportsmen/sportswomen'. This means that getting other people exposed to IHMSA becomes more important than my own personal 'need' to shoot my guns. Sportsmanship is more about the other person than it is about me 'getting my way'.
These three things in my honest opinion will keep IHMSA alive.
