    When I used to run my classic airgun site ( bobsairguns.com), I included a dedicated section for the Rossendale Model Target Club to display it's club rules and to help promote some of the new ideas that I started and wanted to promote such as the MPL (Muscle Power League) etc.

    I also recorded the score's and results from the competitions that we were shooting in along with some pictures taken at the club, but this was not enough to keep the visitor numbers to this section of the site enough to make the huge amount of time I spent to trying to keep it interesting and up to date worthwhile.

    It did have some good response to start with, but then it's use began to fade as less visitors to the site looked at this particular section - even though the traffic to the main site to see my classic airgun pictures and reviews etc increased dramatically.

    When I retired I had intended keeping bobsairguns.com alive and well, but I had already pictured almost every classic air pistol and was well on the way to including most of the classic target air rifles too, but my pension could not support the large number of airguns that I needed to provide enough comprehensive information to achieve a really good knowledgable base that photos alone would not give - and so I reluctantly gave it up.

    Trying to keep membership numbers up is a problem for many small target airgun clubs and in most cases the less members you have the more they each have to pay to make sure the rent gets paid each month!

    We have a really nice club in Rawtenstall now with new electronic target changers and the sort of members that you would choose to spend your social time with, but we could certainly use one of two new regular members (of the same ilk) to share the range, the humour ......and the rent
