Except Google by all accounts is a very successful company. I have no insight into IDPA membership but activity at local matches is not what is was in the past. Many things could be impacting the numbers but it's commonly held by members its the organization and some of the policies. The Wilson's are free to run it as they please but members are free to choose alternatives and many have. I cast see how this is good for the organization. In my own club we would routinely have 80 to 100 shooters on a nice summer day, we average under 50 now.
I shot Florida State IDPA this weekend. Tier 4, 285 competitors.
Had a couple shooters from Maryland, lots from Georgia, Florida and Alabama.
