Costly Gun Clubs On The Decrease
Columbus reporter notes that trap and skeet shooting rise while practice and competition sites fall. Investors buy near population centers, invest heavily, profit from rising property values, then sell as shooting venues become less profitable, reducing available facilities for shooters.

Winchester Starts Public Land Trap Clubs Amid Tax Shift
In 1962 Winchester Western Division expanded from private sites to public land formats to avoid rising land costs and housing encroachment. Now 21 franchises in 14 states operate with public agencies owning land and Winchester funding and managing. California views Proposition 13 as prompting such moves to stretch public dollars. Santa Clara County already runs a new Field Sports Park franchise and reports strong usage. Winchester aims for about 15,000 new shooters annually, a growth goal echoed by SVP William Talley in New Haven.
