useful only if updated. Ours are rarely updated. So no one looks at them. That is a thankless job, unfortunately.

It's very easy to give the website to potential new Shooters after I talk to them about silhouette.

I only started shooting silhouette because I heard about the sport and found our club website. If no website, it becomes a who you know to get updates and dates for matches; you have to be part of the in crowd to known what's going on.

I see a company/club website as mandatory in the 21st century.

If they are updated on the same schedule as the AZ fish and game site they are worthless.

I am the unfortunate soul that updates ours. Yes they are useful since ours has all of the 2017 schedules posted the day they are decided by the club. There is a ton of information about multiple disciplines there if you dig deep enough. One of the most important things we have there is the contact info of our match directors. That way you can go straight to the source to get your questions answered.

p.s. go look at it and tell me what needs fixin! http://www.hellgatecsa.org/id9.html

A good website that is kept current is useful. A website, e-mail group or blog where every match result, photos and write-ups about what happened during the match promotes silhouette. Newbies learn about the sport and even seasoned competitors deserve recognition for their accomplishments. Even if it is just a monthly club match, people want to see what is going on.

Nice site. The only problem is the iron man is a woman..........
Tell the Scheutzen guy to get some pics. I love those rifles. They're soooo cool.
I was the webmaster of a car club for 7 years. Tons of work. No pay. Our local websites club haven't been updated in 8 -10 years. No volunteers.

a club wed site is very useful to me. i am all ways looking for new places to shoot.

Bob, I agree with the comments about being up to date, If they're not they are no worth it. I've ran many a web site and published club newsletters for a lot of years.
Important info on the web site:
1. Info current (as often as possible if not real time)
2. Club location (very important) Sounds basic but a lot of club's assume that it's only members looking at the site
3. Club Contact person (not just email with some generic club email that no one looks at in a timely manner)
4. Dates of events that include the year not just the month and date ex. August 4, 2017
5. Event contact person (as above)
6. Current club grounds access restrictions

Just beautiful Bob..... Maybe we'll have one again soon

Bob aka Guru. How far is that club from Trinidad Co. I was planning on taking a class at the Jr. College this summer.

According to MapQuest your looking at 3.5 hrs. and 221 miles via US 350 out of Trinidad, then CO 71 north to Limon. Take I-70 west from there. Definitely avoid I-25 north through the cities. Maybe we will see you at a match.

If a clubs web site is not kept up to date it is worthless. Here it is almost March 2017 and the schedules I turned in to our club last Oct. are not on our web site yet.
I realize we are all volunteers, but it is frustrating when things like this happen. I contacted the web master a week ago, and still nothing.

Not as bad as ours, our person that maintained our site got mad because someone didn't answer an email quick enough so decided to shut it down altogether, no notice, nothing. Then the club didn't have the guts to expel him for it, I'm beginning to think we have Liberals that infiltrated the club.
