Some interesting numbers are in from the NSCA. Alabama is ranked as number 32 on volume of registered targets. The numbers of registered targets in Alabama dropped from 188,450 in 2007 to 169,350 in 2008 or a -19,100 decrease. Circle W threw almost half of the registered targets in 2008 throwing 72,750 registered targets. The next number is the bad one, but already looking to be corrected for 2009. In 2008, of the 15 NSCA member clubs, only 5 threw a registered target. Make sure to mention that you want registered shoots to your local club.
