Why was the contractor allowed to charge the volunteer shooters to participate?
There was no provision in the contract prohibiting the contractor from charging a fee to participate. As an experienced outfitter, he believed a fee would give participants a vested interest in attending, whereas with no financial commitment some of the participants would feel less-compelled to show up if other opportunities presented themselves. The contractor had a difficult time gaining commitments from potential participants despite extensive solicitation efforts.
