I get your point but let's assume that NAFA and AFC are the two largest falconry organizations in the US. NAFA still has a huge membership compared to the 100ish members that AFC has.
If you want to look at pure numbers, there are probably also a number of state clubs that have more members than AFC as well.
In all honesty, how many of AFC's members are as passionate about this agenda as the most involved members?
How many of the AFC dues paying members are truly behind the quest to slay the dragon and how many continue to send in dues just to be part of another falconry organization?
