I don't think it is necessarily that they don't want to shoot the 'ultimate event' i think they just feel intimidated...

It's easy for 'Seasoned National shooters' to overlook this but i believe a lot of average shooters wouldn't even think of putting their name down for something so 'high profile'..
Just my opinion on what could have occurred, that and Fathers day for the 'not so competitive shooter..'

Doesn't stop it being annoying i agree!
