I bet the same bunch of crotchity old men were members long before you joined. It's a club and like all clubs the members conform to one another.
Attend the meetings and find out the unspoken codes. Try to change what displeases you, but remember things were in place before you got there and the others may not want to change. Senority carries a lot of rank in most any club.
Have you seen anyone else shooting in the same manner? Do the rules state that you must shoot at paper or steel targets? You could have been technically wrong by not shooting at a reconized target. Go over the rules carefully before complaining to the club, but be prepared to accept what the group has always abided by.
