What we’re seeing is a long term trend as Americans rediscover their love of guns and shooting. This is catastrophic for the antigun movement.

Additional confirmation of a theory
[At the USPSA range officer class last weekend a data point was mentioned that supports this view. The observation was made that local USPSA matches have a lot of people in them. The last match I was at (May 21st USPSA match at the Marysville Rifle Club) had 108 shooters.—Joe]
We’ve had to cap our local club matches, we simply don’t have enough bays to add more shooters. Plans to build more bays are in place.
I stopped shooting IPSC/USPSA several years ago, when the number of participants got so high that you’d spend an entire Saturday to shoot four stages – 1-2 minutes of trigger time didn’t strike me as a good return on a full-day investment!
