Who is doing all the Enfield target shooting??

[Patrick Chadwick]

black power antique shooting,

??? Is that a variation on silhouette shooting Frederick? Where do you find the black power antiques? And should you be shooting at antiques anyway?

unfortunately it is next to impossible to get folks to shoot a straight Enfield match

You're in the wrong country for that. Over here, the BDMP holds a yearly "Enfield-Mauser Trophy" match. 3 classes: Enfield, Swedish Mauser, Other Mausers.

With all these competition areas, it is very hard for any one activity to get the numbers of folks that used to be directed into one or two activities.

Very true. In some competition areas I find myself coming first and last, and wondering if I should bother next year. However, when next year comes I do it again, hoping that someone else will turn up, as for a couple of my antiques it is the only chance to see how they perform under competition conditions.
