A vocal member of the gun club where I am a member claims that shotgunners are the ones who most frequently cause gun clubs to fail. He says they are elitist, arrogant, SOBs who look down on everyone else while polishing their $3K over/under shotguns. This drives away other members until the club no longer has a critical mass to keep functioning. He also claims that most pictures of NRA admin people shows them holding an O/U shotgun rather than rifles or pistols. I don't know since I don't pay much attention much less keep score.
I heard about this while I was shooting skeet with my JC Higgins pump and having fun with the others I shoot with. We never have criticized anyone because of their gear or skill level. Safety comes first then fun with us. That includes one guy who shoot a kreighoff (around $12K worth with all the barrels and stuff).
Are shotgunners overall people who think they are better than the other shooting disciplines? It seems a lot of people believe that. Why?
