    Default sponsorship needed

    Hello, fellow vets and sportsman alike !
    For the last several years I have been busy raising a family, leaving little time for shooting etc. Therefore letting my membership lapse from the langhorne rod &gun club. Now ready once again to be more involved. But the only person left to sponsor me moved. Anyway I need a sponsor and have know problem getting to know someone who is willing. I know its a long shot but what the heck. I grew up there and dont know anyone anymore. But anyway if someone is willing thanks. I am doing this for my kids now that they are old enough.
    Thanks

    It seems harder to get a sponsor than it used to, from what I understand they've been getting some real yahoo's joining the club so they came up with a rule that goes something like this, if you sponsor someone you're responsible for their actions during their first year of membership, if they commit an infraction & get in trouble, so do you, if they get booted out of the club, so do you. Now if that's completely true (check with a knowledgeable member or board member) you will see why it would be hard to find a sponsor

    That is the same set of sponsorship rules at my club, Morgantown Rod & Gun.

    I had to come to all of their public events and the meetings for months before anyone would sponsor me, but that eventually worked.

    That's probably your best bet if you don't know anyone there, attend events, be patient, be persistent. I know a guy that got into the Langhorne club that way, showed up, struck up a conversation with someone, they got along & he cultivated a friendship with him, then the guy sponsored him

    Try and find some one who shoots .22 and get them bricks of ammo

    No its not a bribe if your really just giving them away!
