Ideas to Increase Participation

I've seen people cheat in the factory class for a $30 1st place prize and a agg. at the end of the year.
I know of people cheating at shooting for a lot less. If one is that sort, I am left to wonder if these types can fool themselves into thinking that they really earned what they cheated at.

on a tangent; every competition is SOOOOOO expensive to even make the ante. Forty-plus years ago HBR featured a lot of factory rifles, hunting scopes, and weight limits. I had a Remington 308 Varmint Special with a 4-12X Leupold taped on 4X, and most people shot Sierra 150gr MKs.
Look at HBR today. Easily an eight-thousand dollar package. IPSC is the same, ditto SBR. And don't even get me started on ELR, I have about seven-thousand dollars in mine and it still has to go to B'cZ for the stock finish.
Pick a shooting sport and set a two grand limit on the rifle ready to step up on the line. In two years there will be cheaters (my term) wanting replacement stocks, custom $5-700 triggers, and replacement barrels.
See where I'm headed?
 
Club match start times can be a hindrance to people who do not live 30 minutes away but will travel to a good club for a monthly match. I believe 9-10am is a good start time if you are only running two matches and have two to three relays per match.

Regionals and state level matches have many more entrants and need the early start times because it’s bound to happen that we have a shot marker or mechanical issue that will prolong the afternoon into the blustery part of afternoon wind.
